Which MLB players use the new “Torpedo” bats? Yankees leads the way, but other stars have accepted a unique bat

The New York Yankees are already talking about the 2025 MLB season. After an offensive explosion in which the 15 Homeruns team met and scored 36 runs in just three games – questions arose about the unusual bats that used some of the team’s rackets.

Torpedo bats are now the last anger in the entire league, but the opinions on the bats are shared. Some players are ready to experiment with the Torpedo bats. Others quickly call them a scourge. Fans at least non-yanke fans-sind angry on development.

Those who use Torpedo bats, as you might suspect, speak up of them. This includes the New York Giancarlo Stanton, who defended the equipment and dispells all claims that his early injury this season was the result of using the bats last year.

What distinguishes a torpedo sloger from a standard bat is the shape. A torpedo bat has a thicker sweet spot -or a barrel -before thinning out near the top of the bat. The shape resembles a bowling pencil. And while Torpedo bats look different, they are legal according to the MLB rules.

The with -physicist Aaron Leanhardt was attributed to the creation of the Torpedo bats. Leanhardt had previously served as a stopping analyst with the Yankees before he came to the Miami Marlins as a field coordinator in the off -season.

The idea came after the Yankees Shortstop Anthony Volpes Swing Data Team examined. The analysis showed that Polpe often contacted the bat near the label, which is closer to the thin end of a standard bat. To help Volpe, the team had bats made that moved more closely to the label from the wood, so that Volpe would make a better, stronger contact on his swing, as the Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay explained during the game on Saturday.

The Yankees -Infield Jazz Chisholm Jr. gave an insight into the Torpedo bats over the weekend and said the goal was to move wood where a player contacts higher prices.

Volpe and a handful of his teammates are among the players who use Torpedo bats in 2025, but the Yankees are not the only club that experiment with the bat.

“It feels good,” he said about Charlie Clifford from NBC5. “It feels really good.”

While the use of the Yankees was known, some players used Torpedo bats in other teams in 2025. Orioles Catcher Adley Rutcshman is a confirmed torpedo bat user. Both Blue Jays outfielder Davis Schneider and Twins Catcher Ryan Jeffers were photographed in the first three games of the season with Torpedo bats. Rays Young Outstanding Junior Junior Caminero also used a Torpedo bat at the beginning of this season.

The Cubs were one of the teams that make torpedo bats last season, and it seems that both Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner belong to the torpedo bats in 2025. Pictures also appeared by New York, Star Francisco Lindor, with the bat, even though he is 0-for-13 to start the season.

It is unlikely that the list will be here. Schneider’s team -mate of Schneider, Ernie Clement, already said that he could experiment with a torpedo bat during the games. The third Baseman of San Diego Padres, Manny Machado, seemed to be interested in shipping the bats to the Padres. Milwaukee Brewers First Baseman Rhys Hoskins confirmed that he has already ordered a program and is waiting for it to arrive. Cleveland Guardian’s outfield Lane Thomas does not seem to use a torpedo bat, even though he said that the bat he uses is similar.

Opinions are mixed whether the Torpedo bats are the reason for the success of the Yankees in the early season. The five Yankees players, who used Torpedo bats against the Milwaukee Brewers, achieved very good nine homes in the first three games.

Remarkably, Aaron Judge – who does not use Torpedo bats – also has four homes in these competitions.

It remains to be seen whether the success of the Yankees on their bats or a combination of their small stadium and the bad pitching of the brewers. But after the offensive explosion of New York to open the season, you can expect Torpedo bats to start around 30 club houses shortly.
