Coming in at No. 7 in our most-viewed profiles countdown we have OF Jaden Fauske (Nazareth Academy, 2025). A varsity contributor for four years, Fauske will leave high school as arguably one of the best prep hitters to ever come through the state - finishing his career with a .492/.590/.744 slash line and two state titles in baseball alone. His senior year was dominant to say the least, finishing with a .475 average with 10 doubles, three triples, six home runs, 40 RBIs, 38 runs scored, 29 walks and 33 stolen bases - good enough to earn him First Team All-State honors. 

From 5/17/25: “LSU Commit. The Nation's No. 13th-ranked senior would show advanced actions on both sides of the ball during Saturday's doubleheader, looking the part of one of the top high school bats in the upcoming Major League Draft. Across the two games, Fauske would go 3-for-6 with a triple, a home run, four RBIs, two runs scored, and a walk. The definition of a hitterish presence in the box, Fauske took controlled aggressive swings throughout the day, with advanced feel for the barrel and knowledge of the strike zone. Defensively, the Nazareth senior played both games in centerfield, showing quality routes and instincts, with his evident baseball acumen allowing his athleticism to play up. 6-foot-2, 205-pound frame with present strength and twitch.”

A versatile athlete with an advanced hit-tool, Fauske would go on to be selected 44th overall in the MLB draft to his hometown Chicago White Sox. The hit-tool has always been premium, performing at seemingly every stop with advanced bat-to-ball skills and zone awareness, and we expect that to continue to translate as he goes throughout the ranks.
