D-backs to give out dual Ketel Marte switch-hitting bobbleheads

Jan 7, 2020, 3:52 PM

The Arizona Diamondbacks are going to be giving out two bobbleheads on the same day. You’ll just have to wait and see which one you end up with.

The D-backs announced on Tuesday that 10,000 fans will get a Ketel Marte right-handed-hitting bobblehead on April 11, and another 10,000 fans will get a left-handed-hitting Marte bobblehead that same day.

“Which one are you hoping for?” the team’s tweet read.

The announcement was made on National Bobblehead Day.

The giveaway will be the first D-backs bobblehead of the season.

The left-handed-hitting bobblehead is donning a black Los D-backs jersey with teal accents. The right-handed-hitting Marte has a red alternate jersey with sand accents.

The logo on the helmets are different, too.

Marte, of course, is a switch hitter. The 26-year-old was an All-Star in 2019 and finished fourth in the National League MVP race.

He hit .329 with 32 home runs and 92 RBIs. Marte had a .981 OPS, 36 doubles and nine triples. Batting righty against left-handed pitchers, Marte hit .333 with 12 home runs. Batting lefty against right-handers, Marte hit .329 with 20 home runs.
