Juan Soto’s adorable reaction to his spot-on Padres bobblehead was so relatable
Juan Soto is only just about eight months removed from starting a new baseball life with the San Diego Padres. In fact, the 2023 season will officially mark the superstar’s first full campaign in San Diego in a fresh era. Plus, the Southern California proximity means Soto can continue a friendly rivalry with Mookie Betts.
With Soto now being the arguable face of the Padres, they decided to commemorate the occasion with a collectible for fans in a few weeks: an awesome bobblehead!
Before it’s handed out to folks later this month, San Diego filmed a video of Soto getting a preview look at his tiny recreation. His reaction to what seems to be a spot-on bobblehead was adorably sweet all around:
“Oh, with the chain and everything!”

That is a man who clearly appreciates his new digs and how he’s being welcomed into them.
