Steven Okert didn’t pitch much in the majors in 2018, but he sure pitched well

STAT LINE: 10 G, 7.1 IP, 8 K, 0 BB, 1.23 ERA, 2.75 FIP

Steven Okert didn’t pitch a lot for the Giants this year, but when he did, he really couldn’t have done much more. His first nine appearances of the year in the majors were scoreless, and in his final one, the last game of the year, he didn’t give up a run until his second inning of work. Considering that quite a few Giants fans gave up on him after a 2017 season where he pitched like a 2017 Giant, his positive performance in a small sample in the majors at least gave us a reason to think that maybe those good minor league numbers he’s put up for most of his career could mean something in the big leagues someday after all.
