If there's one phrase to sum up the first week of the 2025 MLB season it's "torpedo bats," the slightly different shaped pieces of wood that have taken the league by storm. To the surprise of no one, Anthony Volpe was the main catalyst of this craze and the makers of the bats are starting to see a windfall.
Volpe, who is using the torpedo bat, has four hits through the first five games of the season and they were all home runs. Michael Kay told a short story about the bats during a YES broadcast over the weekend and it's basically all anyone has talked about since.
