Fauske is a Chicagoland native, hailing from Nazareth Academy in La Grange, IL. While he played some catcher in high school, he was announced by the White Sox as an outfielder. That's where he is projected to play as a pro.
Adrian White correctly pegged Fauske as a target for the White Sox in the second round. It just made too much sense.
Fauske is a good athlete with a fluid left-handed swing. He has some projectable power that the organization needs desperately. He also played on the White Sox Area Codes team and was mentored by White Sox legend (and employee) Jim Thome.
