Morphology
The meaning 'a person who trains and directs a baseball team' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'baseball' (the sport) with 'coach' (a person who trains players). This is a regular noun–noun compound following common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Baseball coach comes from the simple image of a person standing at the field teaching and guiding players in baseball. The word coach means 'to train and direct', so the phrase means the person who teaches, leads, and plans for the team.
