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. Over the weekend, the New York Yankees kicked off their 2025 MLB baseball season with a historic 15 home runs in three games.

The torpedo bat has taken the baseball world by storm. What are the players and experts saying about this new piece of hitting technology?

Check out some of the home runs hit this season by players using torpedo bats.

It's another day and another record for the New York Yankees offense and the torpedo bats some of their players are using this year.
