The Los Angeles Dodgers will not sign J.T. Ginn, their first-round pick, the right-hander announced on Instagram.

Ginn will honor his commitment to Mississippi State. He wrote:

"After being drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first round, I had a lot to think about over the last month. My ultimate goal is to one day play in the Major Leagues, and the draft provided one path to that goal. College baseball offered another path. I am grateful for both opportunities, and after giving it a lot of thought I have decided to pursue my lifelong dream of playing college baseball for the Mississippi State Bulldogs!!!"

The 30th pick carries a $2,275,800 bonus slot.

The Dodgers will receive a compensatory pick at No. 31 overall in next year's draft because Ginn won't sign.
