FOCO has dropped a limited edition bobblehead of Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts. Like the NBA, MLB has followed suit with three-man "super teams" and the LA Dodgers are leading the wave. The popular collectibles brand has also nicknamed the trio:
"Big 3 of LA."
FOCO has produced only 360 pieces of the collectibles, with Ohtani on the left, Betts on the right and Freeman in a swinging pose in the middle. Previously, the company had released a Freeman bear to commemorate the first baseman's return after his son's health scare.
Moreover, the brand had also released a mini big head of Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto and a double bobblehead of Ohtani facing Paul Skenes. Nonetheless, Ohtani-Freeman-Betts seems to be the hottest commodity right now.
The "Big 3" have not played a game together for some time, mainly due to Betts' injury sustained in June. However, this will soon change, as the former AL MVP is anticipated to return in the coming days.
Apart from Shohei Ohtani and company, FOCO has released other MLB trios
Before the set that included Shohei Ohtani and company, FOCO had dropped three-pack mini-head sets of players from the Baltimore Orioles, New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies.
The Orioles' mini-heads included Gunnar Henderson, Adley Rutschman and Austin Hays. Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso and Kodai Senga comprised the Mets mini-heads, while the Phillies trio consisted of Bryce Harper, Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber.
However, the only "Big 3" that prove to be a match for Ohtani, Betts and Freeman are Aaron Judge, Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton of the New York Yankees. Even so, legendary Phillies players favor the Dodgers' trio over the Yankees.
In the latest episode of the "6-1-1" podcast, Chase Utley picked the Dodgers' three over Judge, Soto and Stanton. While Utley said there is more power in the Yankees, the Dodgers' three strikes out less often, thus affecting his decision.
Do you think Shohei Ohtani and Co. are the best trio in MLB, or is it Aaron Judge and his Yankee teammates?
