TCS Alumni in the Major League
Kudos to TCS alumni J.B. Woodman, TCS class of 2009, who was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in June. Woodman, who currently attends Ole Miss, earned the nickname Superman from teammates because of his stellar play. He hit .323 with a .412 on-base percentage and .578 slugging percentage, figures that either led the Rebels or ranked second.
