In 2018, Workman's freshman season, he appeared in fifty games (making 48 starts) in which he batted .276 with three home runs and 25 RBI.[160] That summer, he played in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Brewster Whitecaps.[161][162] As a sophomore in 2019, he slashed .330/.413/.528 with eight home runs, 42 RBI, and nine stolen bases over 57 games.[163][164] He earned honorable mention for both the All-Pac-12 team and the All-Pac-12 defensive team.[165] He returned to play in the Cape Cod League for Brewster, and was named a league all-star.[166][167] Over 17 games as a junior in 2020, he compiled three home runs and 14 RBI before the college baseball season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Workman was selected by the Detroit Tigers in the fourth round as the 102nd overall pick in the 2020 Major League Baseball draft, and signed.[168][169] He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[170] To begin the 2021 season, he was assigned to the Lakeland Flying Tigers of the Low-A Southeast.[171] After slashing .256/.357/.426 with three home runs, 19 RBI, 16 doubles, and 22 stolen bases over 51 games, he was promoted to the West Michigan Whitecaps of the High-A Central in early July.[172] Over 67 games with the Whitecaps, Workman batted .237/.302/.440 with nine home runs and 39 RBI.[173] He was assigned to the Erie SeaWolves of the Double-A Eastern League for the 2022 season.[174] Over 128 games, he slashed .225/.276/.415 with 14 home runs, 68 RBI, thirty stolen bases, and thirty doubles.[175] He was selected to play in the Arizona Fall League for the Salt River Rafters after the season.[176] He split the 2023 season between Erie and West Michigan, hitting .239 with 13 home runs and 48 RBI over 100 games.[177]

On December 11, 2024, Workman was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the Rule 5 draft.[178]

Workman's father, Widd, also played baseball at Arizona State and spent four seasons in the minor leagues with the San Diego Padres.[179] Workman is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and chose to skip his mission trip in order to continue playing college baseball without missing a season.[180] He and his wife, Alexa, married in November 2020.[181]
