The article discusses the mixed reactions of players from the Milwaukee Brewers regarding the New York Yankees' new 'torpedo' bats, which have a unique barrel design that concentrates mass in a non-traditional spot. Milwaukee pitcher Trevor Megill criticized the bats as unconventional and reminiscent of those used in slo-pitch softball, questioning their legitimacy. Meanwhile, teammate Rhys Hoskins acknowledged their potential effectiveness, stating they made sense logically and expressing curiosity about their physics, reflecting the ongoing debate about innovation in baseball equipment.
I think it's terrible,'' Milwaukee right-hander Trevor Megill told The Post of the bats that had the barrel in a non-traditional spot. "We'll see what the data says. I've never seen anything like it before. I feel like it's something used in slo-pitch softball. It's genius: Put the mass all in one spot. It might be bush [league]. It might not be. But it's the Yankees, so they'll let it slide."
I didn't see it until after the game,'' Hoskins said. "They figured out a way to make it work. Logically, it makes a lot of sense, but I'm not a physicist. But how could I not want to look into it more?"
