Shue is 5-11 with an athletic frame that has some projection left to it. Played third base in the game and was fine there. At the plate, hits from the right side from a slightly open balanced athletic stance, good lower half balance, keeps hands inside, short level line drive swing, showed ability to adjust to pitch mid-swing. Some power in his future as he continues to fill out.
