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

Engineered by a former MIT physicist, the torpedo bat is completely legal under MLB rules. It meets all dimensional requirements but redistributes mass toward the barrel, creating a larger, denser sweet spot.

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.
