The New York Yankees have taken Major League Baseball by storm at the plate so far in 2025, and the bats they are using have been given the credit. The Yankees debuted newly designed bats known as “torpedo bats” that increase the batter's ability to get solid wood on the ball. The bats, as well as the Yankees for using them, have already been met with a large amount of criticism.
Other teams, including the Atlanta Braves, are jumping on the torpedo bat train, per ESPN's Buster Ulney.
