The Miami Marlins lost to the New York Mets, but the game also highlighted the buzz around a new training tool, the torpedo bat, linked to player development. Designed for movement efficiency, this tool, popularized by the Yankees, has drawn attention this season. Hitting coordinator Aaron Leanhardt emphasizes its role in improving hitter movements. Marlins manager Clayton McCullough supports embracing such innovation, aiming to enhance player capabilities. While some players, like Griffin Conine, are intrigued, they are still evaluating its potential application in their training routines.
"It's not a bat, it's a tool. It's about movement efficiency. What it really does is teach a hitter to move more like an athlete."
"We're always open to exploring tools that can help our hitters find their best swings. Aaron's a smart guy. He's got a vision for development, and we've given him space to bring those ideas into the building."
