Aaron Leanhardt, a former physics professor and Yankees coach, has innovated torpedo-shaped bats used by five Yankees' players to combat declining batting averages and rising strikeouts. These bats feature weight distribution favoring the area where hitters make contact, enhancing their hitting potential. Meeting MLB regulations for size, the bats allow players to hit the ball more effectively. Notably, the players utilizing these bats performed well during the Yankees' early season sweep, showcasing the immediate impact of this design innovation on their game.
Leanhardt emphasized focusing the weight distribution of the bat where hitters typically make contact, leading to improved performance at the plate.
The introduction of torpedo bats, tailored to prioritize hitting power, is a collaborative innovation intended to address declining batting averages and increasing strikeouts.
