‘Torpedo’ bat demand has sent a Pennsylvania factory into overdrive

<!--> A 70-year-old man who plays in an area senior hardball league popped into Victus Sports this week because he needed bats for the new season. Plus he just had to take some cuts with baseball's latest fad and see for himself if there really was some wizardry in the wallop off a torpedo bat.Ed Costantini, of Newtown Square, picked up the custom-designed VOLPE11-TPD Pro Reserve Maple, and took his hacks just like MLB stars and Victus customers Anthony Volpe or Bryson Stott would inside the company's batting cage and tracked the ball’s path on the virtual Citizens Bank Park on the computer screens.Most big leaguers use that often indistinguishable "feel" as a qualifier as to how they select a bat.Costantini had a similar process and thought the hype surrounding the torpedo since it exploded into the baseball consciousness over […]

Behind Shohei Ohtani’s bobblehead walk-off, ‘good vibe’ Dodgers off to historic start

Rowan Kavner MLB Writer <!--> LOS ANGELES — On Wednesday night, the Dodgers, unrecognizable through two innings and gloriously record-setting by night's end, left their manager dumbfounded. They had already secured their longest winning streak to start a season since moving to Los Angeles, but they weren't playing like it behind Blake Snell. They trailed by five runs early, committed three errors and made even more defensive blunders that didn't show up in the box score. They ran into outs. They got their hands on a "torpedo" bat only to watch it flail.It was their sloppiest game of the year, and it was coming against a winless team desperate enough for a victory that the Braves had turned to their closer in the middle of an at-bat in an attempt to secure a five-out save. "I was dumbfounded with the way we […]

Every team and player in MLB using the new ‘torpedo’ bat

<!--> The biggest storyline of the young 2025 MLB season has been the use of torpedo bats. It's not an inflated Wiffle ball bat or a skewed image, rather it's a bat where the barrel is located closer to the handle.Many players and a handful of teams have been seen using the trending bat — most notably the New York Yankees — but not everybody has done so.With that in mind, here's the list of teams and players that have used the torpedo bat this season:ADVERTISEMENT -->Teams and players are listed alphabetically.Baltimore OriolesAdley RutschmanChicago CubsNico HoernerDansby SwansonCincinnati RedsElly De La CruzJose TrevinoMinnesota TwinsCarlos CorreaRyan JeffersNew York MetsFrancisco LindorNew York YankeesPhiladelphia PhilliesPittsburgh PiratesOneil CruzTampa Bay RaysJunior CamineroYandy DiazToronto Blue JaysDavis SchneiderWant great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Why a league-wide torpedo bat takeover might take longer than we think

Deesha Thosar MLB Writer <!--> NEW YORK — Aaron Boone was asked one of the many questions that everyone has been wondering about ever since torpedo bats hijacked public discourse. Does he believe there will be a significant offensive surge in the sport now that hitters across the league want their hands on the bats?"Maybe," the Yankees manager said on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. "But I don't know necessarily that everyone knows about it."Huh. But doesn't he think, by now, that everyone has heard about it? "Yeah, but that's different than knowing," he repeated.ADVERTISEMENT -->How so?"I think there's just a lot more that goes into it," Boone said. "A lot went into doing that for our individual guys. It's a lot more than the look of the bat."If it sounds like Boone was being cryptic, it's because he knows the Yankees are […]

‘An elite pitcher:’ Paul Skenes shuts down Rays for first win of 2025

Greg Auman NFL Reporter <!--> TAMPA, Fla. — Paul Skenes' 21st and final out Wednesday afternoon was his most celebrated, coming back from a 3-0 count to strike out Rays outfielder Jose Caballero to end the seventh inning and finish a strong day on the mound."Falling behind 3-0 on the last two hitters of the game is not very good," the Pirates' ace said after a 4-2 win over Tampa Bay at Steinbrenner Field. "It's not as hard as people think it is to throw strikes. I just did it three pitches too late."-->Skenes (1-0) pitched seven innings for the first time since July 23 of last year, a span of 12 starts, and gave a struggling Pirates team what it needed to end a four-game losing streak.ADVERTISEMENT <!-->"Paul was really good and went right after them, was really consistent," […]

‘Can’t explain it’: The Braves are MLB’s only winless team. Is it panic time?

Rowan Kavner MLB Writer <!--> --> LOS ANGELES — At 6:32 p.m. PT on Sunday, the Braves were shut out for the second straight night to end a four-game sweep in San Diego. A drive up Interstate 5 to face the undefeated Dodgers would not provide any respite. About 15 hours later, the Braves designated for assignment one of their few pitching additions of the offseason. Héctor Neris was entrusted to hold a one-run lead in the seventh inning on Opening Day and coughed up three runs without recording an out. He would not make it to April with the team. It was hardly the worst news on a miserable Monday that epitomized the Braves' inauspicious start to the 2025 season. Waves of misfortune swelled into a tsunami of pain. At 2:56 p.m., Major League Baseball announced that Jurickson Profar, the Braves' biggest […]

Torpedo bats, axe bats, and knobs: A history of baseball bats

<!--> You’ve been hearing all about torpedo bats of late, and with good reason. New equipment isn’t introduced to Major League Baseball often, but the torpedo bat represents a change in the design of a piece of equipment that’s been part of the game from the start: the baseball bat itself. The New York Yankees having themselves an offensive explosion against the Milwaukee Brewers on opening weekend certainly helped bring them into the spotlight, but big games from the likes of Elly De La Cruz helped keep it there.The thing is, the torpedo design is not the first change to baseball bats. They didn’t just arrive on the scene in the 19th century looking like they do today — it took years and years, well over a century even, to get from the kind of bat the game started with to the […]
