Robert William Wolcott (born September 8, 1973) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played all or part of five seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Seattle Mariners (1995–97), Arizona Diamondbacks (1998), and Boston Red Sox (1999). He also played for the Kintetsu Buffaloes in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) in 2000.
Career
Wolcott was a key member of the 1995 "Refuse to Lose" Seattle Mariner team, the first Mariner team to reach the playoffs. He was a late season call-up from the minor leagues in August, where he was most impressive in his first MLB start against the Boston Red Sox, the team with which he would pitch his final MLB game in 1999. After his season in NPB, he came back to pitch three games in the Oakland Athletics organization in 2001.
Wolcott was forced to retire due to shoulder surgery. After his baseball career ended, he continued his education at Oregon State University, where he majored in mechanical engineering.[1]
