Christian Colon's high school career did not start in California.  In fact, it started in Utah and the first time we saw him was at the Spring Training event, hosted by the then Utah Baseball Academy. He was on the 2005 Area Code Games roster for the Cincinnati Reds Team, as Christian Rodriguez. He played his high school ball at Taylorsville (Utah) High School.

The next high school season, in 2006, Rodriguez moved out to California and Canyon (Anaheim, Calif.) High School and changed his name to Christian Colon. 

In his summer before his senior year, Colon played for the Milwaukee Brewers (Blue) Area Code Team, and it is the first time that we can remember a player in the two consecutive Area Code Games playing for two different teams.  

He played for the 2006 Junior National Team, a team that finished in second place at the International BAseball Federation "AAA" World Junior Championships, in Cuba.  He earned a special tournament award, being recognized as the top second basemanin the tournament.  He was also on the 2006 AFLAC All American West Team.

Baseball America named Colon Summer Player of the Year.
