Yankees' torpedo bats take spotlight after record 9 home runs against Brewers

The New York Yankees' torpedo bats are the talk of Major League Baseball after the team hit a franchise-record nine home runs in a game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, Austin Wells, Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered using the strikingly-different bats in New York's 20-9 rout of the Brewers on Saturday.

The Yankees hit four more homers on Sunday, bringing the total to 15 home runs in their first three games and matching the 2006 Detroit Tigers for the most in MLB history.

The bats are made with wood moved lower down the barrel, creating a bigger "sweet spot" and a shape almost like a bowling pin.
