If Max Muncy wanted a message from the baseball gods, they just provided a pretty strong endorsement against the torpedo bat.
The Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman entered Wednesday off to a rough start, despite his team's undefeated run to open the season. He was slashing .095/.208/.143 and was the lineup's only power bat without a homer on the season.
It's those kinds of situations in which players are most receptive to something new. He told reporters on Monday he ordered a torpedo bat out of curiosity and was seen swinging one at batting practice before Wednesday's game.
