Wolf finishes his Mountaineer career with a 3.62 ERA and 205 career strikeouts. 

The Gahanna, OH, native developed into the Mountaineers ace as a junior, going 3-1 with a 1.05 ERA, striking out 27 in a team-high 25.2 innings of work, allowing just 14 hits and three earned runs in a shortened season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Last season, he led the team with 104 strikeouts and carried the team tossing 89.0 innings and finishing the year with a 3.04 ERA. He ended his West Virginia career off with an upset win over No. 2 Texas, allowing just one run in a complete game of the Big 12 Conference Tournament quarterfinals.
