LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced their promotional giveaways for the second half of the MLB season, including the first images of bobbleheads of Shohei Ohtani and LA Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.

What we know:

The team announced the news on social media on Thursday. In the post, they showed off images of the Kobe and Shohei bobbleheads, as well as a bobblehead for Kiké Hernández and a replica Yoshinobu Yamamoto World Series ring.

The Ohtani bobblehead features the two-way star on the mound. Ohtani made his Dodgers pitching debut back in June, after missing all of last season following Tommy John surgery.

Kobe’s bobblehead shows him in a Lakers jersey, with a baseball bat in hand, taking a batting stance.

The Dodgers announced the dates of these giveaways ahead of the 2025 season, but Thursday was the first time the team shared images of what the individual items would look like.

Other big events include Ohtani’s other bobblehead night, featuring the second of the two-piece 50-50 dual bobblehead, and a bobblehead honoring Clayton Kershaw’s 3,000 career strikeouts. The Kershaw bobblehead is the only one that the team has not released images of.
