The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed 26th round pick Jimmy Rider, per a team press release. Rider, a senior from Kent State, didn’t sign initially due to his team playing in the College World Series. He was drafted as a second baseman, and will likely go to State College.

In his senior year at Kent State, Rider hit for a .361/.434/.532 line in 252 at-bats.
