Big-time arm strength; some run at the lower velos; spotted the pitch well; very tough to square down in the zone; pounded the pitch in on hitters; moved the pitch to both sides of the plate; also left it middle-middle on occasion; still some room for improvement command wise; plus-plus potential. |

Flashed plus; plenty of horizontal movement; has good shape; can be a slurve at lower velos; deception; maintained same slot and arm speed; killer against lefties; command needs tightening; crossed the heart of the plate often. |

Okert is an advanced college arm with two potential plus-pitches (the fastball is one already). He has a lot of confidence in both pitches and is able to use both in any count vs. lefties and righties. I believe he has late-innings potential (8th inning) and could very well reach that. It's just a matter of logging innings and facing tougher competition. The risk factor could be low, but I went moderate because he hasn't achieved success yet at Double-A, which he could and should reach this year.
