Max Muncy of the Los Angeles Dodgers debuted a torpedo bat in a game against the Atlanta Braves but struggled with it, going 0-for-3. Despite reporting positive feelings about his swing, he found the bat affected his timing and plane. After realizing the bat's weight distribution did not suit his style, he switched back to his regular bat and hit a game-tying two-run double. Muncy acknowledged potential benefits in practice but opted to use his usual bat for upcoming games.
"Started with that bat, I felt good, swing felt good, but I during the at-bat I felt like the bat was causing me to be a little bit off plane..."
"In the Dylan Lee at-bat, I know he made good pitches on the edge of the zone, but I felt like I was right on them. The swing just felt like there was something off with it..."
