The Los Angeles Dodgers announced Julio Urias was selected as the 10th and final bobblehead giveaway on the team’s 2017 promotional calendar. The design of Urias’ bobblehead, which will be distributed Tuesday, Sept. 26, has not yet been revealed.
It’s believed Urias, who will be 21 years old in August, is the youngest Dodgers player to have his own bobblehead night since they became a mainstay of the annual promotional schedule in 2001. On the night it was announced, Urias threw six no-hit innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Andrew McCutchen’s leadoff double in the seventh put an end to the pursuit of history. Urias began this season in extended Spring Training and soon after joined Triple-A Oklahoma City.
After three starts for OKC, Urias joined the Dodgers, and unlike last season, is expected to remain with the team for the duration of the season.
Other bobbleheads on the Dodgers’ 2017 promotional calendar include Corey Seager, Kenley Jansen, Joc Pederson, Justin Turner and Clayton Kershaw, among others.
Seager’s bobblehead night has passed, while Jansen’s is Wednesday, with the Dodgers hosting the Pittsburgh Pirates in the finale of a three-game series.
In addition to some of the aforementioned bobbleheads, other giveaway items that have not yet been distributed are a quarter-zip pullover (May 20), weekender bag (May 25) and bluetooth speaker (July 8), in addition to several other products.
