It's been revealed that the Yankees are using new custom bats known as "torpedo" bats, which have more wood at the label to give a larger spot to the area where players make contact. They've hit so many home runs to start the season, but it's a very small sample size. Is it the bats? Or is it that the Milwaukee Brewers ' pitching is just THAT bad?

Engineered by a former MIT physicist, the torpedo bat is completely legal under MLB rules. It meets all dimensional requirements but redistributes mass toward the barrel, creating a larger, denser sweet spot.

The New York Yankees have been tearing the cover off the ball early this season. They lead the way with 15 home runs through three games, and fans have been losing their minds.
