From MiLB.com's continuing series of prospects you need to know:

Sheldon Neuse, 3B
Neuse began the season as John Sickels’ No. 7-ranked Washington Nationals prospect. He came over to Oakland as part of the Sean Doolittle/ Ryan Madson deal and looked sharp. Here’s what John had to say about him preseason:

Age 22, second round pick in 2016 from University of Oklahoma; hit .230/.305/.341 in New York-Penn League, well off the .369/.465/.646 spring he had for the Sooners; best tool is arm, college shortstop looked comfortable at third base in NY-P; will need to get the hitting back to project well at the hot corner but scouts still seem confident that he will hit for average and moderate power with more adjustment time. ETA late 2019.
So, heading into this season, we knew he could handle the hot corner. He pitched and played shortstop at Oklahoma, so the arm plays in plenty of places. He has good instincts and is learning the range of the new position, but is athletic enough to stick.

He also started hitting much more consistently this season. He played in three different leagues – South Atlantic, California and Texas – making contact and putting up numbers at each stop. Overall, he put up a .884 OPS behind a .321/.382/.502 slash line. He continues to find his power at the pro level with 26 doubles and 16 home runs. He has a quick swing and barrels up on the ball to all fields, making him even more dangerous. If he can improve on his overwhelming ground ball percentage and add some more loft, he’ll have the power expected of a third baseman.

Whether Neuse is a utility guy on the left side of the infield or an everyday third baseman will be determined at the higher levels. If he hits, he has a real shot.
