The Yankees were at PNC Park for the Pirates home opener on Friday, and they brought their torpedo bats with them.

With 15 home runs in their first three games, the New York Yankees are flexing their muscles. Could part of their success be due to a new bat design?

New York Yankees legend CC Sabathia explained why he believes using the viral torpedo bats is "great" for the game rather than impeding pitchers.

The Yankees hit four home runs in the first inning off Brewers starter Nestor Cortes on Saturday, starting with three consecutive homers on three pitches. Their nine home runs broke the franchise record of eight and was one short of the MLB record, 10 homers in a single game accomplished by the Toronto Blue Jays in 1987.

The New York Yankees' new torpedo bats, developed by MIT physicist Aaron Leanhardt who has also done work for NASA, have gone viral and sparked a fierce debate.

Aaron Leanhardt was the Yankees' lead analyst in 2024 before joining the Marlins' coaching staff this offseason.

After allowing 15 home runs in three games, the Brewers didn't make excuses: "It's not like some magical wood or anything else."

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.

MINNEAPOLIS — Zach Dezenzo was rehabbing an injury at the Houston Astros’ minor-league facility in Florida last season when he first beheld a bat that he still thinks “looks weird.” Its barrel bulged and tapered into a skinner end. Its shape resembled that of a bowling pin.
