Torpedo bats have the bat canon in a different location. Instead of being at the end of the bat, the barrel is closer to the mango, which gives the bat a form of bowling pin. Some players get in touch with the ball more on the label instead of the traditional bat. Torpedo bats move the cannon to the label, so when they make contact, they run more for the baseball.
The bats uniquely dominated the conversation between players and fans this weekend after the offensive eruption of the Yankees.

“I think it’s terrible,” said the ace of relief from the brewers, Trevor Megill, to the New York Post. “We’ll see what the data says. I’ve never seen anything like that before. I feel it is something used in Slow-Pitch Softball. It’s genius: put the dough in one place. It can be bush [league]. It may not be. But they are the Yankees, so they will let him pass. “
Kevin Smith, who spent time with the Yankees last season, took X to give Credit to Leanhardt for the innovative bat.
“Yes, the Yankees have a genius mit literal physique, Lenny (who is the man), in the payroll. He invented the barrel of ‘torpedo’. It brings more wood, and mass, where it is most frequently put in contact as a success. The idea is to increase the number of ‘barrels’ and reduce failures,” Smith wrote.
Leanhardt, 48, has a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. in MIT Physics and was a physics professor in Michigan from 2007 to 2014.

Leanhardt joined the Yankees in 2018 after training at Atlantic League and Montana Community College in 2017.
“It’s just about making the bat the heaviest and as fat as possible in the area where you try to damage baseball,” Leanhardt said about the scoring bat through Atlético.
“There were definitely some major leagues players who balanced him in the big leagues in 2023,” Leanhardt told journalists on Monday. “In addition to some smaller leagues players who balancing him in some real baseball games in 2023, and simply accumulated throughout 2024 in what is today.”

Leanhardt is now a member of the Miami Marlins as a field coordinator after leaving the Yankees after six years as the major league analyst. While it is no longer with the team, four of the Yankees regular headlines use the Torpedo bat.
The first Paul Goldschmidt base, the central gardener Cody Bellinger, the second base Jazz Chisholm Jr. and the Anthony Volpe campocorto use the bat torpedo. Giancarlo Stanton no.

The Yankees gardener, Jasson Domínguez, told the journalists that Stanton was wearing a torpedo bat last season when he broadcast seven homers in 14 postseason games during the Yankees race to the World Series.
However, Yankees are not the only team that uses bats. The Social Media MLB account published a brief explanator to X about the Bat of Torpedo and highlighted four players of four teams that use them.

The four players in the representation that the bat are the Campocorto of the New York Mets, Francisco Lindor, the first Tampa Bay Rays base, Yandy Díaz, Anthony Volpe and the minnesota Twins Ryan Jeffers’ Minnesota Twins. The third base of the Rays, Junior Caminero and Los Filis, the third base Alec Bohm has used them.
The Campocorto de los Rojos de los Cincinnati, Elly de la Cruz, decided to try the bat of torpedoes in the Reds game on Monday against the Texas Rangers after seeing the offensive attack of the Yankees.
De la Cruz was 4-5 with two homers, one double and seven races driven in the 14-3 victory of the Reds over the Rangers.

“I just wanted to know if he felt good,” said De la Cruz through athletics, “and definitely does.”
Bats are legal.
MLB rule 3.02 establishes: “The bat must be a smooth round stick no more than 2.61 inches in diameter in the thickest part and no more than 42 inches long. The bat will be a piece of solid wood.”
The rule also says that “experimental” bats cannot be used “until the manufacturer has obtained the approval of the major baseball leagues of their design and manufacturing methods.”
Leanhardt said that “would guarantee” that it is in a first name with MLB officials who supervise the bat regulation.
While teams and players will surely want to have the Torpedo in their hands, some players are happy with what they have been using.
When the Yankees captain and the two -time MVP winner of Al MVP, Aaron Judge, was asked why he had not tried the new Torpedo bat, replied: “What I have done in recent seasons speaks for itself.”

Los Rojos’s manager, Terry Francona, said that perhaps it was not the bats that led to the nine records of the Yankees record.
“I don’t have a great opinion. I think if you return and look where some of these releases were (thrown against the Yankees), it might not be the bat,” Francona told Atlético.
