Yankees Torpedo Bats Take Baseball by Storm

They don't call them the Bronx Bombers for nothing.

The Yankees took the baseball world by storm with bats that had heads spinning. The Yankees crushed 15 home runs over the course of a three-game series sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers, including scoring 32 runs over a period of two days. And it's only March.

If you want to make a comparison to even a year ago, the most home runs a team hit in the month of March, was 10 by the Dodgers in six games. The Yankees, at this time a year ago, hit only five home runs in four games. They have tripled that in one less game this year.

What's the difference? The torpedo bat.

Over the weekend eight different Yankees hit home runs. Aaron Judge hit four bombs, but he admitted to not using the bat. Jazz Chisholm did use the bat, and smacked three bombs. This is a hitter who has never hit more than 19 home runs in a season.

To their credit, the Yankees leaned into a scientific study from an MIT grad named Aaron Leanhardt and figured out a way to move the barrel of the bat down into the label of the bat to give hitters who need it, more of an advantage based on what part of the bat they hit with the most contact. The result is a bat that looks like a Wiffle bat.
