Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, Austin Wells, Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm Jr. all went deep using a torpedo bat.

Don’t blame Yankees for pushing the envelope and using torpedo bats

<!--> After the first weekend of MLB's 2025 season, the thing everyone is talking about is bats. The New York Yankees' bats, specifically, thanks to their use of a recent innovation in baseball hardware. The "torpedo" bat is a newer design, and was in use before 2025. But after a weekend in which the Yankees' offense dominated, it's getting more attention now than ever before.While the Yankees' use of the bats has been criticized by some, Colin Cowherd doesn't think they should face scrutiny. In fact, he's in favor of the torpedo bats, pointing out that the real problem people have is with which team this sudden interest arose from. "Everybody's freaking out, and I think they're really freaking out because it's the Yankees. If this was the Rays, or the Diamondbacks, it wouldn't be nearly the story," Cowherd said on […]
