Are the New York Yankees cheating the system? That's what baseball fans believe after the Yankees unveiled "experimental" bats that shifted the weight

New York Yankees have hit a record-leveling 15 home runs in their first three games of the MLB season against Milwaukee Brewers, including a team record nine in their 20-9 win on Saturday, and the revolutionary torpedo bats are being seen as the reason for the sudden explosiveness.

YES announcer Michael Kay pointed out during the broadcast that several players had been using a design with a barrel closer to the hands.

Torpedo bats are the talk of baseball, thanks to the number of New York Yankees using them while smashing records in the opening weekend.

Former Yankees infielder Kevin Smith explained this new bat shape is called the "torpedo" and was designed by someone in the team's front office. It's pretty straightforward. The "torpedo" is intended to decrease misses and increase barreled balls.
