You will hear a lot talking about it “Torpedoes” In the coming days, and perhaps most of this MLB season if New York Yankees and other users of this new funky equipment continue to launch memories out of bullets.
Here is how Jack Baer by Yahoo Sports described the bats that became viral last weekend and attracted your attention:
Apparently, the Yankees have designed a new type of bat that makes part of the wood below on the barrel, putting more mass in the area that really strikes the ball. It essentially makes the end of the bat plus in the form of a bowling alley.

To be clear, bats are legal. Sorry, the enemies of the Yankees.

Here is what some people, mainly players, had to say about the bats of the MLB to various publications covering them:
Anthony VolpeNew York Yankees stopped stop: “I know I am bought. The larger you can have a barrel where you hit the ball, it makes sense to me.”
Jazz Chisholm Jr.New York Yankees Third Baser: “It doesn’t look like a different bat, it just helps you in a little way, I suppose.”
Cody BellingerNew York Yankees Outfield: “I started to swing this one in the spring or before spring, a little earlier, and I said to myself:” Oh, it feels good “. It was a lighter ounce than the one I swung, but I think the way the weight was distributed was really good. »»

Aaron judgeNew York Yankees Outfield: “What I have done in the past two seasons is talking about itself. Why try to change something if you have something that works?”
Pat MurphyMilwaukee Brewers Manager: “The players do everything to try to get an advantage today and I think they should. I think everything that is good for the offensive game is good for the game.”
Trevor McGillMilwaukee Brewers Return: “I think it’s terrible. We will see what the data say. I have never seen anything like this before. I have the impression that it is something used in slow softball. It is genius: put mass in the same place. It could be Bush (League). It may not be. But they are the Yankees, so they will let it slide.”
Manny MachadoSan Diego Padres, third basic player: “I have no idea what they are. They should send some here if they are going to hit circuits like that. He who makes them send a few to Petco with this big stadium.”

Lane Thomas, Table of Cleveland Guardians: “I have a little in my bats. See how it is shaved a little at the end and the barrel is there?
Mullins CedriqueBaltimore Orioles Voltueur: “Trying to give the strikers any type of advantage, because pitching only improves and it becomes more difficult to strike. It is an interesting concept. When it was presented for the first time, I did not know how common this process of reflection was, but it takes place fairly quickly.”
Tyler O’NeillBaltimore Orioles Voltueur: “Maybe I’m going to try.”
Davis SchneiderToronto Blue Jays OUFIELD: “I feel like guys with shorter arms or who a bit of a plate, it will help a little just because you will not be stuck.”

Ernie Clement, Toronto Blue Jays Third Baser: “You must always hit him. If you stimulate it with a normal bat, it’s also a home run. I don’t think it’s a huge difference, but I think that for some guys, it will help and for some guys, that will not matter.”
Carlos CorreaMinnesota Twins Shortstop: “Catters, sweepers, cursors, any land that extends you have struck further, these are more difficult to hit hard.”
