Oakland Athletics: What Sheldon Neuse’s call-up means for the future of the team and baseball

The Oakland Athletics are set to call up one of their top prospects in Sheldon Neuse as August comes to a close. Neuse is the No. 8 prospect in the A’s organization and has had himself a bountiful year in Triple-A.

In 126 games for the Las Vegas Aviators, Neuse hit a scalding .317 with 27 home runs and 102 RBI in nearly 500 plate appearances. He also posted a .389 on-base percentage, .550 slugging percentage, and .939 OPS.

Clearly, Neuse has been one of biggest standout players in all of minor league baseball this year and now he gets his chance at the big show.
