Ginn posted on Instagram , ā€¯I had a lot to think about over the last monthā€¯ and added ā€¯after giving it a lot of thought I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of playing college baseball for the Mississippi State Bulldogs!!!ā€¯
The deadline for draft picks to sign, unless they have exhausted college eligibility, is 5 p.m. Eastern Friday. Two other first-round selections remained without agreements: right-hander Carter Stewart (selected eighth by Atlanta) and shortstop Matt McLain (25th by Arizona).

Brandon Nimmo began the game with an inside-the-park home run. Turned out he was just getting started.
Nimmo homered twice during a huge night at the plate, and the New York Mets finally gave Jacob deGrom some run support Monday in a 12-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
ā€¯It took a funny bounce (off the wall), so something was working my way for that first at-bat,ā€¯ Nimmo said. ā€¯That was pretty cool and a great way to start it off. Just kind of loosened things up after that.ā€¯
Wilmer Flores and Devin Mesoraco also went deep for New York, which won its third straight following a prolonged slide. Nimmo had four hits and set a career high with four RBIs ā€“ one night after his go-ahead, two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning staved off defeat for the Mets and rallied them to a win at Arizona.
