The New York Yankees' introduction of torpedo bats during their series against the Milwaukee Brewers has prompted a ripple effect across Major League Baseball. Teams like the Minnesota Twins and Tampa Bay Rays have begun to adopt this new bat technology, surprising many in the league, including the Los Angeles Dodgers. Players like Max Muncy are eager to test the bats, while Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed surprise over the bats being approved by MLB due to their unusual shape, indicating that it was unexpected to see such innovation initially kept under wraps.
"Those guys are just good. Maybe it helped them. If it did, I plan on finding out." - Max Muncy on the impact of the torpedo bat.
"There's a lot of regulations that a bat has to go through to be able to be Major League Baseball approved, and so for it to pass all those things is sort of surprising, given how it looks." - Dave Roberts on the torpedo bat.
