Major League Baseball is buzzing over torpedo bats. Here's an inside look at the demand for the bats, and how one factory is trying to keep up.

While baseball can sometimes be on the sporting back burner, torpedo bats have captured everyone's attention. What's going on.

Torpedo bats are just the latest innovation in the design of baseball bats, some of which stuck, and others which ... did not.

Torpedo bats are the explosive new trend in baseball after the New York Yankees set a franchise record Saturday, hitting nine home runs — the first four of which were back to back to back to back — for a 20-9 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.

After the new design erupted into the public’s attention last weekend, there was an instant surge of interest.

While other types of modified bats, such as corked bats, are strictly forbidden in the major leagues, MLB has already confirmed that torpedo bats are legal and allowed; the league itself has even released news articles highlighting them. This could pave the way for a new era of baseball, one in which home-run hitters take precedence.

The Major League Baseball season is just underway and, while some athletes are making their major league debut, so is the usage of the ‘Torpedo’ bat.

The newest innovation in baseball, the bat has a seemingly inflated barrel that is thickest and heaviest where the player most frequently makes contact.
