Engineered by a former MIT physicist, the torpedo bat is completely legal under MLB rules. It meets all dimensional requirements but redistributes mass toward the barrel, creating a larger, denser sweet spot.

Some oddly-shaped baseball bats have become a hot topic among fans and players, after the Yankees’ so-called “Torpedo Bats” seemingly helped some sluggers hit multiple home runs.

It's been revealed that the Yankees are using new custom bats known as "torpedo" bats, which have more wood at the label to give a larger spot to the area where players make contact. They've hit so many home runs to start the season, but it's a very small sample size. Is it the bats? Or is it that the Milwaukee Brewers ' pitching is just THAT bad?

The Yankees keep on slugging as the NFL tables a vote on the Eagles’ unstoppable play. Keep it all.

Despite losing their first game of the MLB season, the New York Yankees continued their historic start to the year as they broke multiple records through their prolific home run hitting.

New torpedo bats drew attention when the New York Yankees hit a team-record nine homers that traveled a combined 3,695 feet on Saturday.

Let's have some fun and embrace the overreaction week theme by examining early-season trends from the Yankees' start.

"The Yankees are bringing a lot of publicity to them with their performance thus far, but they weren’t a secret in the industry prior to this weekend.” An AL executive meanwhile told Feinsand they believe the Yankees tying an MLB record with 15 home runs in their first three games of the 2025 season will help bring more publicity to the bats.

"I think it’s an amazing discovery," said Angels outfielder Taylor Ward, one of many players suddenly interested in the new bats.
