He batted .316 with 31 home runs and 94 RBI, collecting 160 hits and posting a .563 slugging percentage. His 31 home runs ranked among the American League leaders and established him as one of Baltimores top power hitters during the late 1980s.

Sheets spent the majority of his eight-year Major League career with Baltimore, while also playing for the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners. He later played professionally in Japan with the Yokohama Taiyo Whales before returning to the Orioles for his final MLB season in 1993.
