Ross Garrett Wolf (born October 18, 1982 in Effingham, Illinois) was a Major League Baseball relief pitcher. Currently he is with the Texas Rangers organization. He bats and throws right-handed.
Wolf attended Newton Community High School in Newton, Illinois and Wabash Valley College in Mount Carmel, Illinois.
Wolf was selected by the Montreal Expos in the 47th round (1390th overall) in the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft. However, he refused to sign with them and remained a free agent. He was selected the following year by the Florida Marlins in the 18th round (533rd overall) in the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft, this time accepting the position.
Wolf had his contract purchased by the big league club on August 9, 2007. He had a 2.82 ERA in 41 relief appearances for the Marlins Triple-A affiliate, the Albuquerque Isotopes. He became a free agent at the end of the 2008 season and signed with the Baltimore Orioles in December.
On June 22, 2010, Wolf was traded to the Oakland Athletics for Jake Fox.[1] Promoted to the major leagues on July 7, 2010. On October 9, 2010 (after refusing a minor league position) he became a free agent.
