Early life

By third grade, he was able to throw a fastball that peaked at 99 km/h (62 mph). From fourth grade to sixth grade, Okamoto was a pitcher and infielder, and batted cleanup for his little league team. In junior high school, Okamoto was able to throw pitches at 135 km/h (84 mph), standing 180 cm (5 ft 10 in) tall and weighed 83 kg (182 lbs).
