In the early days of this year’s season, torpedo bats have become all the rage for big-league hitters. And now, they are showing up in almost every big-league clubhouse.

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."

After the new design erupted into the public’s attention last weekend, there was an instant surge of interest.

At that point, the Yankees were already four home runs into a historic nine-homer barrage that resulted in a 20-9 blowout. They concluded the three-game sweep with 15 homers to tie the MLB record for the most long balls through a team's first three games.

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.

The Yankees hit four home runs in the first inning off Brewers starter Nestor Cortes on Saturday, starting with three consecutive homers on three pitches. Their nine home runs broke the franchise record of eight and was one short of the MLB record, 10 homers in a single game accomplished by the Toronto Blue Jays in 1987.

New York Yankees legend CC Sabathia explained why he believes using the viral torpedo bats is "great" for the game rather than impeding pitchers.

Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton said he'll continue using a torpedo bat whenever he returns, but also declined to say whether he thought using the new model might have caused his injury.
