Hey, Batter Batter!
On March 29, the New York Yankees broke a record. It was opening weekend of Major League Baseball (MLB). The Yankees hit nine home runs in a game, a team high, against the Milwaukee Brewers. But fans noticed something odd. Some Yankees players used new bats called torpedo bats (see photo). The bats are shaped a bit like bowling pins. They have a wide “sweet spot.” This is where players hit the ball. The bats are allowed by the MLB. And Sports Illustrated reports that other teams have also ordered them.
