Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Ryan Pepiot made his MLB debut earlier this season and is still early into what’s expected to be a successful career, and it’s one that now includes a first bobblehead.
FOCO released a limited-edition Ryan Pepiot bobblehead to commemorate the right-hander reaching the Majors this year. The Pepiot bobblehead is modeled in mid-pitch on a circular base that includes his name and No. 47 jersey. It’s limited to 72 units and will not be restocked once quantities sell out.
Pepiot is fresh off making another spot start for the Dodgers, as the team sought to provide the rotation with an extra day of rest.
Pepiot shined in his fourth career start and picked up his first career win by allowing just one run over five innings, collecting six strikeouts to only one walk. Pepiot lowered his season ERA to 2.76 and has a 1.35 WHIP.
“Yes, it’s definitely meaningful,” Pepiot said of earning the win. “It’s very exciting. But my job is to go deeper in the ballgame so that you can save the bullpen, just eat up innings and put up zeros as much as I possibly can.”
The Dodgers optioned Pepiot to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday as the corresponding move to activating Caleb Ferguson off the 10-day injured list.

Also available for preorder is a duo Dodgers bobblehead of Clayton Kershaw and Don Sutton. The pitching icons are paired together to celebrate Kershaw becoming the all-time Dodgers strikeouts leader.
Sutton is set to a black and white color scheme, while Kershaw is outfitted in a traditional Dodgers look. They are positioned on a base with trademark Dodger Stadium video boards and welcome sign accompanying the design.
