Answering the biggest questions surrounding the Yankees' torpedo bats

You probably have a lot of questions about the Yankees’ new “torpedo” bats. The Post’s Greg Joyce answers some of them here.

Q: Only five Yankees are using them. Will that number go up?

Yes, it is possible for baseball players to consider using the torpedo bat. However, many players are creatures of habit, like Aaron Judge, who prefer not to change something that is already working well for them. Some players may take more time to embrace the idea, as it may not suit everyone’s playing style. The Yankees, for example, are not pushing their players to adopt the torpedo bat but are open to accommodating those who are interested in trying it out.

Anthony Volpe and Cody Bellinger shared that they experimented with various versions of the torpedo bat before finding the one that suited them best. Finding the right weight distribution can be a process of trial and error, which is more feasible during spring training than during the regular season when players are focused on performance. It requires time and effort to adjust to a new bat, which may not be practical once the games are in full swing.
