FOCO released a new Yoshinobu Yamamoto bobblehead to commemorate his first career win with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The bobblehead portrays Yamamoto in a pitching pose while dressed in the road gray Dodgers uniform. He’s set atop a base that includes both the Japanese and American flag on display along with “April 6, 2024” and “First Win” text on the front.
Yamamoto’s bobblehead is limited to just a production run of 218 units and won’t be restocked once quantities sell out.

Yamamoto picked up his first career win by holding the Chicago Cubs scoreless and pitching five innings on Saturday at Wrigley Field. He twice left the bases loaded, included in the first inning when the Cubs had their first three batters reach safely.
The performance was another step in the right direction for Yamamoto since struggling in his MLB debut.
In his past two starts, Yamamoto has allowed a combined five hits and issued two walks while collecting 13 strikeouts over 10 scoreless innings.
The first career win bobblehead is the only full-sized version involving Yamamoto that has not sold out. Prior releases for the Seoul Series, including being part of a set with Shohei Ohtani, were quickly purchased.
A miniature Yamamoto bobblehead that is included in a boxed set for the Seoul Series is still available for purchase.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto receives beer shower
To celebrate getting the win, Dodgers teammates carried out their tradition of showering Yamamoto with beer in the clubhouse before he spoke with media. The right-hander seemingly avoided the inclusion of ketchup, mustard and other items that were used in previous celebrations.
