Hitting coach Kevin Long says the team will try to get “a better understanding of the whole science” behind the bat craze that is sweeping baseball.

The founder of popular site Barstool Sports went on a tirade about "torpedo" bats, drawing a response from a New York Yankees infielder.

The New York Yankees made history on Tuesday. After tying the Major League home run record for the most long balls hit through the first three games of a season

It should be noted that one Yankee declined to use the torpedo bat. Aaron Judge said he was more comfortable with conventional lumber, which is what he used to blast four home runs in 11 at bats. The Brewers finally gave up and walked him intentionally — with the bases empty.

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.

Players are intrigued. Reds star Elly De La Cruz tried it Monday and crushed the ball. One bat-maker contends Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton’s seven-HR barrage in last year’s playoffs was with a torpedo. The early version of the backstory is amazing: An MIT physicist-turned-baseball coach, Aaron Leanhardt, made an observation:

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.

In addition to Swanson, second baseman Nico Hoerner has been swinging a torpedo bat in games. Left fielder Ian Happ swung one during the Tokyo Series. Others have tried them in batting practice.

Baseball is already seeing a new phenomenon this year -- torpedo bats. The tapered bats that focus weight to the sweet spot, potentially enabling bigger hits are made by King of Prussia-based Victus Sports.
