The torpedo bat gained popularity after the Yankees hit 15 home runs during their first three games, but not all players are sold on the new shape.

So, what is a torpedo bat? A typical wooden baseball bat only gets wider from the handle to the barrel, while a torpedo bat gets wider toward the center of the barrel then tapers. The end shape resembles that of a bowling pin or torpedo.

Yankees' hitters Cody Bellinger and Austin Wells used the models made by Louisville Slugger and hit home runs.
