Andrew Benintendi, the White Sox left fielder, reflects on the rising popularity of torpedo bats following the Yankees' explosive performance. Designed by Marlins coach Aaron Leanhardt, these heavier bats enhance a player's ability to make contact and hit homers. Despite their success, Benintendi commits to his traditional bat while suggesting that more players may adopt the new design. As Benintendi experiences a strong start this season, he contemplates the balance between batting average and home runs amid evolving pitching standards.
Benintendi mentioned, 'I had never heard of it...I think I'll stick with that,' emphasizing his long-term use of a traditional bat despite the new trend.
Manager Will Venable remarked, 'I just wish I had a torpedo bat...I've heard things in the past about guys using it,' acknowledging the bat's impact.
