Shuey was recognized as an All-American as an NCAA baseball pitcher with the North Carolina Tar Heels baseball team. The Indians picked Shuey as the second-highest selection in the 1992 MLB draft. As a pitcher who was compared as Cincinnati Reds closer Rob Dibble, Shuey had more success as a setup reliever rather than a closer.

Shuey received a three-year contract from the Indians at the start of the 1997 season, worth $3,203,000 guaranteed. An option year and performance bonuses made the maximum value of the contract $11,603,000 over four seasons.

The Indians chose Shuey in the first round of their draft pick, which was the second overall selection during the 1993 Major League Baseball draft. The Indians were hoping that Shuey might develop into a closer in the vein of Rob Dibble of the Cincinnati Reds. Shuey began his career with The Columbus Red Stixx of the Class-A South Atlantic League in 1992.
