Despite losing their first game of the MLB season, the New York Yankees continued their historic start to the year as they broke multiple records through their prolific home run hitting.

That brought their home-run total to 17 on the season, which Bryan Hoch of MLB.com noted is an all-time record for the first four games of a single campaign. The previous record was set in 2006 when the Detroit Tigers hit 16. This comes after the Bronx Bombers already tied the MLB record with 15 home runs through the first three games of a season.

The New York Yankees have gotten off to a record-setting start to the campaign.  To begin the year, the Yankees were able to sweep the Milwaukee Brewers.

On the latest Sporticast episode, hosts Scott Soshnick and Eben Novy-Williams discuss some of the biggest sports business stories of the week, including the online hysteria surrounding the ‘torpedo bats‘ in MLB.

Check out some of the home runs hit this season by players using torpedo bats.

The New York Yankees have set the 2025 MLB season on fire with a historic offensive surge, thanks in part to the controversial new “torpedo bat” design. As the season progresses, questions look about how these bats will hold up in varying weather conditions.

Torpedo bats drew attention over the weekend when the New York Yankees hit a team-record nine homers in one game. Days later, the calls and orders, and test drives -- from big leaguers to rec leaguers -- are humming inside Victus Sports.

Let's have some fun and embrace the overreaction week theme by examining early-season trends from the Yankees' start.

It has been the talk of baseball since Saturday, March 29th, after the New York Yankees hit 9 home runs against the Milwaukee Brewers and drove in 20: the Torpedo Bat.
