This year the club introduced a new bat featuring what they call a “Torpedo Barrel,” and it’s quite literally breaking the game of baseball. This was most apparent on Saturday night in a 20-9 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in which the Yankees hit an astonishing nine home runs across seven players.

Former physics professor Aaron Leanhardt is credited with the popularization of the lumber used by several New York Yankees during the team’s 15 home run opening series.

Judge has a team-leading four of those homers, and a combined nine homers have been launched by the torpedo-bat quintet of Jazz Chisholm Jr. (3), Anthony Volpe (2), Austin Wells (2), Cody Bellinger (1) and Paul Goldschmidt (1).
