Morphology

baseball + team

The meaning 'a group of players who play baseball' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'baseball' (the sport) with 'team' (a group of people), so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand the compound. This noun + noun composition is a common, literal pattern across languages and standard English, making the MWE immediately comprehensible.

Etymology

The compound noun baseball team comes from the two words baseball, the sport where players run between bases, and team, a group who work together. So it means 'a group of players who play the sport of baseball'.
