When we talked to LeMahieu during the Colorado Rockies Caravan, he admitted he was a little surprised by all of the controversy surrounding the batting title he earned (yes, earned) last season.

LeMahieu’s bobblehead early in the season is one of a few of the jiggly collectibles the Rockies will give away this year. The next one, however, is a while after DJ’s special day. That comes on July 8 on Marvel Super Heroes Day when a bobblehead will be unveiled (still more information to come on that one).

After that, it’s Adam Ottavino and a Star Wars bobblehead on July 22. We’re trying to picture what the Colorado closer will be. We checked with Vegas and early odds have Ottavino in a Stormtrooper outfit. Stay tuned.

Nolan Arenado will also get a bobblehead on Saturday, August 19 when the Milwaukee Brewers pay a visit to Denver.
