Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida On Fire As Rookie Bobblehead's Released
After a brutal start to the season, the Boston Red Sox have received an enormous boost from newly-acquired outfielder Masataka Yoshida.
The 29-year-old slugger was hitting a measly .167 with a .560 OPS on April 13. Yoshida proceeded to have eight multi-hit games over a 13 game-span which rocketed his season totals.
Now, Yoshida is batting .303 with 11 extra-base hits including five home runs, 21 RBIs and a .906 OPS across 26 games.
It did not take time for the Japanese star to adjust to Major League Baseball despite all of the unnecessary controversy over the total value of his contract.
With Yoshida locked into a five-year deal in Boston, he's toward the top of the list of players fans can buy apparel, merch and gear for. Alex Verdugo has been a rising star this season, but he's only under team control through next season.
If it's time to add to your collection -- whether it's a jersey, bobblehead or another form of fan support -- Yoshida and Rafael Devers are the two locked in long term.
Fortunately, FOCO just released a limited edition "Star Rookie Showcase" collection that included Yoshida alongside St. Louis Cardinals' Jordan Walker, Houston Astros' Hunter Brown, Kansas City Royals' Drew Waters and Minnesota Twins' Matt Wallner.

The collection will be limited to 96 bobbleheads per player and will come off the shelves fast.
If anyone is deserving of being added to your collection, it's Yoshida.
