Tucker Toman and Carter Boyd, who both starred for the Dirtbags at the 2022 grad class national tournament held in Cypress, Texas, have been named to the Top 50 in Baseball America’s most recent rankings of high school players for the 2022 MLB Draft.
Toman, ranked 38th, stood out both on the mound and the plate, but the latter was where he really shined; his effortless batting practice from both sides of the dish and pure hitting ability wowed everyone in attendance.
Boyd, currently 48th, also made a big impression on both sides of the ball, but more so on the mound. He showed elite velocity for his age, touching 92 miles per hour with ease late in the event.
In addition, Ian Ritchie (14) and Jacob Miller (22), have both attended scout day events and are expected to participate at the national combine event. Miller also played in the Music City Classic, a partner event.
Since 2003, he has covered multiple World Series and has worked high-profile events ranging from the MLB All-Star Game to the World Baseball Classic. In addition to his role working for the Future Stars Series that he's held since 2017, Ashmore currently serves as the beat writer of the Double-A New York Yankees affiliate, the Somerset Patriots, as well as national hockey writer and New York Jets game day beat reporter for The Trentonian.
A regular contributor to Baseball America, Ashmore has worked seven Super Bowls, 11 Stanley Cup Finals, the 4 Nations Face-Off, the NBA Playoffs, College Football Playoff National Championship Game, Frozen Four, Daytona 500, major UFC events and much more as he approaches 3,200 games covered in his career.
An avid card collector and sim racer, he lives with his wife, Sarah, their son William, and their beloved dog, Bailey, and cat, Smokey.
