Despite losing their first game of the MLB season, the New York Yankees continued their historic start to the year as they broke multiple records through their prolific home run hitting.

After allowing 15 home runs in three games, the Brewers didn't make excuses: "It's not like some magical wood or anything else."

MIT physicist Aaron Leanhardt has been credited with creating the torpedo bats. Leanhardt previously served as a hitting analyst with the Yankees before he joined the Miami Marlins as a field coordinator in the offseason.

Giancarlo Stanton said he plans to use the torpedo bat when he returns from the IL and won't blame the bat for his injuries.

The New York Yankees hit 15 home runs in the first three games of the 2025 MLB season against the Milwaukee Brewers. One of the biggest trends surrounding the slugging was the Yankees’ use of new torpedo bats during this season.

The Yankees ’ historic power surge against the Brewers to start the season opened the floodgates across the league with the barrels that look like bowling pins. Everybody is commenting on the innovation and it sure sounds like more and more players are hungry to give the new-look barrels a shot.

New torpedo bats drew attention when the New York Yankees hit a team-record nine homers that traveled a combined 3,695 feet.
