Christian Colon

Bio

School: Cal State Fullerton
Drafted: 4th overall pick in 2010 by the Kansas City Royals
Scouting Report: Colon is a spray hitter, with ability to make consistent contact and hit to all fields. He doesn't have much power, though he has shown the ability to hit the gaps on occasion. His pure speed grades out as average or a tick below. Colon makes the most of what speed he does have with good base-running instincts. He has an above-average arm at shortstop. Colon is a very sure-handed and reliable middle infielder. There are other shortstops with better range, but Colon makes all the plays. Colon earns the compliment of being termed a real "baseball player" because of his fine instincts on the field. His bat and lack of projection. Colon is solid in all aspects of the game, but doesn't have a tool that truly stands out.

    Christian listened to his father (Elfrin) and decided to go to college. It paid off for him. Congratulations and best of luck in your pro career. G-d Bless.

  2. Migdalia Green Says:

    Im his uncle ex-wife and I was there when he was born and I can said that his childhood was not easy, but this is another proof that when you have a dream, no matter how big it is, if you work hard and have parents that support you, like him, everything is posible. Congratulations and keep going and remember the sky is the limit.
