Steven Okert Contributes Another Scoreless Inning
3 years agoMiami Marlins relief pitcher Steven Okert supplied another scoreless inning of work in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Okert threw an inning, retiring the Phillies in order while recording one strikeout. Okert has been excellent since being called up a few weeks ago. He's tossed eight innings, allowing just one run on four hits and a walk while striking out three. The lefty hadn't pitched at the big league level since 2018, but if the Marlins end up shipping out some of their bigger named relievers at the deadline, Okert could suddenly find himself in a position to earn holds and develop some deeper league value.
