The Arizona Diamondbacks announced Friday they would be hosting a Ketel Marte Luchador Bobblehead promotional night at Chase Field on September 8.
The giveaway coincides with the club celebrating Hispanic Heritage Day, with other details regarding festivities for the day to be announced at a later time.
Draped in a red and teal luchador-style cape, the bobblehead features the D-backs shortstop in a black and red “Los D-backs” uniform — which the team will wear on September 8 — with white pants.
Marte’s cleats were exchanged for teal wrestling boots, while his ballcap was replaced by a black, red and teal luchador wrestling mask.
