Some oddly-shaped baseball bats have become a hot topic among fans and players, after the Yankees’ so-called “Torpedo Bats” seemingly helped some sluggers hit multiple home runs. Over the weekend, the New York Yankees kicked off their 2025 MLB baseball season with a historic 15 home runs in three games.

The torpedo bat won't be going away anytime soon based on MLB commissioner Rob Manfred's latest comments on the craze. Baseball's specialized bats which took over the league at the start of the season are perfectly legal per the rulebook but have still stirred up controversy over their unorthodox bowling-pin bat structure.

The torpedo bat has taken the baseball world by storm. What are the players and experts saying about this new piece of hitting technology?
