Jazz Chisholm Reveals the Secret Behind Yankees’ ‘Torpedo Bats’ and How Their Game-Changing Design Fueled a Record-Breaking Power Surge to Start the 2025 Season

The New York Yankees launched an offensive explosion to start the 2025 season, crushing 15 home runs and scoring 36 runs in a dominant sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers. While Aaron Judge led the charge, Jazz Chisholm and Anthony Volpe raised eyebrows—not just for their homers, but for the new bat design they were swinging.

What Are the Yankees’ ‘Torpedo Bats’?

The “torpedo bat” was created by an MIT physicist on the Yankees’ staff. It features a thicker barrel that tapers off, redistributing mass to increase the chances of solid contact. The goal? More barrels, fewer mishits, and more home runs.

Are These Bats Legal?

Some fans and Brewers pitchers questioned whether the bats were breaking MLB rules, but as long as the barrel stays under 2.61 inches in diameter, they are completely legal under league regulations.

Game-Changer or Unfair Advantage?

The Yankees may have started the trend, but with a design that boosts power without breaking the rules, don’t be surprised if other teams start using ‘torpedo bats’ soon.
