In Tullahoma, Tennessee, Sheffield attended Tullahoma High School. He needed Tommy John’s surgery, which prompted him to drop out of the Major League Baseball draft before he could graduate.

After the 2015 season, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Brewster Whitecaps of the Cape Cod Baseball League. The 2016 season saw Sheffield make 16 starts, compiling an 8–6 record, 3.01 ERA, and 113 strikeouts in 101+2/3 innings.
Sheffield was picked by the Colorado Rockies in the 2020 Rule 5 Draft.
Sheffield was added to the Rockies’ Opening Day roster for 2021.
Sheffield made his MLB debut on April 2, 2021, tossing a scoreless 9th inning in relief against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was put on the 60-day disabled list on June 20 due to a right lat strain. He concluded the season with a 3.38 ERA in 30 games.
