The torpedo bat has captured the attention of MLB enthusiasts after New York Yankees players used it effectively to hit numerous home runs. Researchers in physics and engineering are intrigued by this bat's design, noting that the traditional bat shape has been used for 150 years. Scientists like Alan Nathan and Lloyd Smith emphasize the significance of this development in bat technology, which aims to optimize performance based on how players typically contact the baseball. This bat remains compliant with MLB regulations while offering a fresh approach to bat design.
The same bat design has been in existence for a century and a half, maybe, and to come up with something new, to me, is always very exciting.
If they're making contact at the same place in the barrel all the time, what can we do about the bat to try and give them better performance at that specific location?
