Around the Empire: Yankees news - 4/1/25
Briefly

Early in the season, Aaron Judge's performance has raised excitement, particularly his ability to handle pitches and capitalize on mistakes. Despite good pitch avoidance from the Brewers, Judge's selective aggression suggests a productive year ahead. Concurrently, the Yankees' controversial use of 'torpedo bats' has sparked interest across baseball, influencing batting techniques as the league looks to improve offensive output. The newly adopted methods may counter recent declines in batting averages and on-base percentages across the sport, hinting at a shift towards more dynamic hitting strategies.
"Despite the fact that Judge teed off on Brewers' pitching, Milwaukee was pretty successful in staying away from the middle of the plate against Judge, showcasing his selective aggression."
"The furor over the Yankees' use of 'torpedo bats' continues... the entire industry kind of caught wind of it over the offseason."
