Tyson William Ross (born April 22, 1987) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Oakland Athletics and San Diego Padres. Ross was an MLB All-Star in 2014.
Ross attended Bishop O'Dowd High School in Oakland, California, which is located mere miles away from Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
Ross attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he played college baseball for the California Golden Bears baseball team. He was an All Pac-10 Conference selection.
Ross was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the 2nd round of the 2008 Draft.
Ross made 6 appearances (4 starts, 0-1) in 2008 for Single-A Kane County, posting a 4.66 ERA. He went 19.1 innings, 11 runs (10 earned) on 16 hits while striking out 16 and walking 5. In 2009, he began the season with Single-A , starting 18 games, posting a 5-6 record with a 4.17 ERA. He pitched 86.1 innings, allowing 49 runs (40 earned) on 78 hits with 82 strikeouts and 33 walks. He finished the season with Double-A Midland, making 9 starts, going 5-4 with a 3.96 ERA. In 50 innings, he allowed 22 runs (all earned) on 40 hits, fanning 31 and walking 20.
Coming into the 2010 season, Ross was ranked Oakland's 6th best prospect. Despite not pitching above Double-A, Ross made the big-league roster while making only 5 spring training appearances. Ross made his major league debut on April 7, 2010, against the Seattle Mariners. He went 2.1 innings, allowing no runs on one hit. He struck out the first batter he faced, his childhood idol Ken Griffey Jr., and walked one. In his next appearance, on April 11, he pitched 3 innings against the Angels and recorded his first career save. On May 11 against the Rangers, he picked up both his first career win and blown save. Ross worked out of the bullpen until July 6, when he was sent down to Triple-A to be groomed back to a starter role. Ross had a 5.49 ERA in 39 1⁄3 innings with the A's, and he posted a 3.55 ERA in six starts for the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats.
