Draft and minor leagues

Okert graduated from Rowlett High School in Rowlett, Texas.[1] The Milwaukee Brewers selected him in the 43rd round of the 2010 Major League Baseball draft out of Grayson County College, but he did not sign and returned to Grayson.

After recording a 1.53 ERA, 19 saves and 54 strikeouts in 35+1⁄3 innings, he was promoted to the Double-A Richmond Flying Squirrels.[5][6] The Giants added him to their 40-man roster after the 2015 season.[7]

Okert was called up to the San Francisco Giants on April 19, 2016.[8] Okert made his major league debut later that day against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
