Tomko attended college at Mt. San Antonio College (Walnut, California) in 1994.
He then transferred to Florida Southern College for one season in 1995.
At Florida Southern, Tomko led the team to the NCAA Division II National Championship against Georgia College.
He went 15–2 with a 1.35 ERA and struck out 154 batters in 126.3 innings that season, with opponents hitting just .180 against him.
He pitched two complete game shutouts in the Championship Series, including one in the final game, earning him the Tournament's "outstanding player" award.
In addition, he won both the NCAA Division II Pitcher and Player of the Year Awards by the American Baseball Coaches Association.
In 1995, he was drafted in the second round by the Cincinnati Reds and signed with the Reds on June 28, 1995.
He moved quickly through the Reds minor league system, debuting for the Charleston AlleyCats in Single-A that same year and pitching to a 1.89 ERA in nine games.
In 1996, Baseball America named him the Reds' fifth best prospect.
He moved to Double-A with the Chattanooga Lookouts and held a 3.88 ERA with 164 strikeouts in 157.2 innings.
In 1997, Tomko was considered the Reds' top prospect by Baseball America.
He moved up to Triple-A, pitching to a 2.95 ERA in 10 starts for the Indianapolis Indians, before getting called up to the Major Leagues.
