Upon graduating from Tustin High School,[1] Staton played for Orange Coast College and California State Fullerton before being drafted in the 5th round of the 1989 amateur draft by the Padres. Following his Minor League Baseball career with the Riverside Red Wave & Rancho Cucamonga Quakes,[2] he made his Major League debut on September 8, 1993 in a 3-2 home win over the Florida Marlins. In that game, he had three at bats but no hits and two strikeouts.
