Jason Rollison

JASON ROLLISON, born in Uniontown, is the analyst on the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Major League Baseball for DKPittsburghSports.com

Career: Jason started his journalism career way back in the early 2000s, stringing high school sports coverage for local newspapers close to his hometown of Uniontown, PA. Then, he took a 12 year break to pursue a career in Information Technology. In late 2013, he got the bug again. He began contributing to the venerable Pirates blog Rumbunter. He eventually rose to the role of editor-in-chief, which he held until the end of the 2015 season. It was then that he decided to start a new venture -- Pirates Breakdown -- which he sold to USA Today in 2018. Since then, he has been an editor at SB Nation's Bucs Dugout. In addition to his work online, Jason has freelanced Pirates coverage for several newspapers, and covered minor league baseball as well as Penn State women's volleyball for various papers in central Pennsylvania.

Personal: Jason is currently residing in State College. He shares domestic bliss with his wife Jessica and their wonderful pup Tippy Tumbles. In a related note, Jason had no say in what to name her. With a day job as an IT Director for a major cabinet supplier, Jason fills his off hours by exploring. He loves to find new places and experiences at every turn. .
