The Dodgers unveiled their new Shohei Ohtani bobblehead. It features Los Angeles' superstar designated hitter holding his dog, Decoy. The bobblehead will be given away August 28 when LA hosts the Baltimore Orioles. 

Ohtani and Decoy's bobblehead is one of 18 bobblehead giveaways scheduled by the Dodgers this season. It's the second one dedicated to Ohtani with the first one released during the team's May 16 game. That first Ohtani design featured just the DH in his batting stance and Dodgers uniform. The new one shows Ohtani in uniform (complete with black sleeve on his right arm) holding his Nederlandse Kooikerhondje. 

The August 28 giveaway is the 16th bobblehead giveaway of the season for the Dodgers. Other players featured in the giveaway this year include Jason Heyward (July 6), Sandy Koufax (August 7), Dusty Baker (August 9) and Teoscar Hernandez (August 20). Two of the giveaways are still listed as TBD. 

Tickets for the game on August 28 are available on the Dodgers team website.
