Did Yankees' physicist-designed 'torpedo' bats play role in Saturday's power surge?
71% Informative
The New York Yankees beat the Milwaukee Brewers 20-9 on Saturday night .
The team used a new sort of bat that moves some of the wood lower down on the barrel.
It basically makes the end of the bat more shaped like a bowling pin.
It is unclear how many of the Yankees were using these bats, and for how long.

Hitting a home run still requires squaring up a ball — which remains the hard part — this might just be a way for players to add a little force when they do so. Still, baseball is the sport where little advantages add up more than any other, so you would imagine the rest of the league is already looking into this with great interest..
