The headlines though, are less for that, and more for their use of a special kind of bat &ndash; the &ldquo;torpedo&rdquo; bat.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"cy\" dir=\"ltr\">Defiant Jazz. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EU3dnMfLxL\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/EU3dnMfLxL<\/a><\/p>&mdash; New York Yankees (@Yankees) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Yankees\/status\/1906446621023322439?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>What exactly is a &ldquo;torpedo&rdquo; bat? The name comes from the bat&rsquo;s unique shape, which resembles a torpedo. Unlike traditional bats with a pronounced swell in the barrel, the torpedo bat shifts more wood toward the hands, specifically to a hitter&rsquo;s &ldquo;sweet spot.&rdquo; Each bat is custom-designed to accommodate the sweet spot of each individual player.<\/p><p>The Yankees&rsquo; analytics department played a major role in developing these custom bats, using each player&rsquo;s hitting data to position the widest part of the barrel where they make contact most frequently. For example, shortstop Anthony Volpe&rsquo;s bat has a barrel closer to the label, tailored specifically to his hitting profile. <\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/are-the-yankees-newly-designed-bats-the-reason-for-their-record-breaking-home-run-display\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Are the Yankees&rsquo; Newly Designed Bats the Reason for Their Record-Breaking Home Run Display?<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>While Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill specifically pointed out that because it&rsquo;s the Yankees, they&rsquo;ll get away with it, it&rsquo;s not just the Yankees, and a lot more teams, and a lot more players. Several MLB stars across the league are giving them a try.<\/p><p>From the Yankees, Anthony Volpe, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Cody Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt, and Austin Wells are experimenting with the new torpedo bats. Additionally, teams like the Minnesota Twins and Tampa Bay Rays have also seen players use them, with catcher Ryan Jeffers from the Twins and standout Rays third baseman Junior Caminero both spotted with torpedo bats during Spring Training and the opening weekend. Baltimore Orioles hitting coach Cody Asche also confirmed that some of his players are experimenting with these customized bats.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which MLB Players Are Using &lsquo;Torpedo&rsquo; Bats?<\/h2><p>Several prominent players from around the league have joined the ranks of torpedo bat users, including:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Elly De La Cruz<\/strong> (SS, Cincinnati Reds)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adley Rutschman<\/strong> (C, Baltimore Orioles)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jose Trevino<\/strong> (C, Cincinnati Reds)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dansby Swanson<\/strong> (SS, Chicago Cubs)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nico Hoerner<\/strong> (2B, Chicago Cubs)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ryan Jeffers<\/strong> (C, Minnesota Twins)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Francisco Lindor<\/strong> (SS, New York Mets)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cody Bellinger<\/strong> (OF, New York Yankees)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jazz Chisholm Jr.<\/strong> (2B, New York Yankees)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paul Goldschmidt<\/strong> (1B, New York Yankees)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anthony Volpe<\/strong> (SS, New York Yankees)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Austin Wells<\/strong> (C, New York Yankees)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Junior Caminero<\/strong> (3B, Tampa Bay Rays)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Davis Schneider<\/strong> (OF, Toronto Blue Jays)<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>Elly De La Cruz, who used the torpedo bat for the first time in the Reds&rsquo; 14-3 win over the Texas Rangers, made an immediate impact.
