Nine home runs in a game draws plenty of attention, especially when those blasts come off the barrels of bowling pins. The innovative ‘torpedo bats’ that Anthony Volpe, Jazz Chisholm, and others used in the New York Yankees’ barrage of bombs on Saturday became the talk of baseball.

The New York Yankees' power surge over their season-opening series against the Milwaukee Brewers this past weekend generated significant attention for their new "torpedo" bats. ESPN's Jeff Passan detailed how the bats were created and introduced in the majors,

After allowing 15 home runs in three games, the Brewers didn't make excuses: "It's not like some magical wood or anything else."

A historic start to the 2025 season led to reports of a brand new bat being used by the Yankees. While it sounds incriminating, could it become the new wave in baseball?

Torpedo bat has a thicker barrel than conventional bats; they were in use last year, but Yankees historic start has them in focus.

Baseball season is back, and it didn’t take long for the New York Yankees to start crushing records and dominating conversation. And at the center of it all? “Torpedo” bats.

Aaron Judge homered in his first at-bat, Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered twice and the Yankees went deep four more times in a 12-3 victory over the visiting Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, a day after becoming the third team in major league history to hit nine homers in a game.
