* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Todd Zola reconsiders his stance against adding holds as a roto category, and takes a look at the impact it would have on relievers like Devin Williams.
2017 Fantasy Outlook
Okert saw his first big league action spread across 16 games in 2016. A small sample size provided positive results for the hard-throwing lefty, who posted a 3.21 ERA and a 9.0 K/9 in 14 innings. The rookie offered a low-to-mid-90s fastball to go along with an average slider. Even with the Giants looking at a complete bullpen rebuild this offseason, Okert likely won't find himself serving as anything more than a middle reliever if he makes the Opening Day roster in 2017.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Being discussed
PMiami Marlins  AAA
July 27, 2022
Miami may deal Okert or include him as part of a trade package, reports Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
ANALYSIS
The Marlins are in sell mode and Okert should garner considerable interest from contenders looking for a left-handed reliever. The 31-year-old is having his second straight excellent season in Miami, posting a 2.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 83:31 K:BB in 69.2 innings since 2021. With still another season before he reaches arbitration, Okert comes without salary-related baggage this season. Given the Marlins appear to be open to dealing virtually anyone on their roster, Okert could be paired with other players as a package deal in a larger trade.
