Jacob Thomas Woods (born on September 3, 1981 in Fresno, California) is a left handed starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who plays for the Seattle Mariners of the American League.

After attending Bakersfield Junior College, Woods was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the 3rd Round (89th overall) of 2001 amateur draft. He made his Major League debut in 2005 with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, compiling a 1-1 record with a 4.55 ERA in 28.2 innings.
