Christian Colon is not going to be the star some envisioned he might be when the Royals snagged him with the fourth overall pick in the 2010 Draft.

But Colon is going to be a good one.

Now Kansas City’s №10 prospect, the 23-year-old infielder overcame some freakish injuries in 2012 (he broke his toe stepping on a bat early in the season and fouled a ball off his face late) but still composed a .301/.376/.413 slash line in 85 games across three levels. Colon (bio, stats here) finished ’12 at Triple-A Omaha and may resume playing there should he not win a Royals roster spot next month. He’s a strong fielder — better at second than he is at shortstop — with a strong bat and could be a part of K.C.’s winning ways this decade.

Here is a gallery of Colon in every uni he’s donned to date. Click on any picture to begin the slideshow. For all past editions of Prospect Uniformed, head here.
