As the torpedo bat craze spreads around pro baseball, one big league player believes pitchers should benefit from a bit more freedom in the eyes of MLB.
Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Matt Strahm in a post on his X account on Monday made it clear that he doesn't have a problem with hitters using torpedo bats. But Strahm, pointing out the grip aids hitters are allowed to use in the on-deck circle, suggested that pitchers should have the same privilege, as well as more freedom from umpire checks for sticky substances.
