If not players, but the torpedo bats will definitely rewrite history. This opening day, the Yankees managed to create enough buzz around them. And their unusual design has sparked a new interest. It is motivating the baseball world to look for creative ways to improve their performance. So, with the craze for new wood ever increasing, Red Sox slugger Alex Bregman is the latest one to join the bandwagon.

A-Breg’s latest social media post got fans all wondering if he, too, wants to try his hand on the torpedo bats.

After all the offseason chaos concerning Bregman and Rafael Devers, the $120 million star is yet to get a taste of a home run. And 5 games are already done. Perhaps, the controversial performance enhancer bat can make the difference! The Yankees did hit 9 home runs over their first three games with it, no? And well, now, it seems like that for Breggy, it became a big deal.

According to reports, Alex Bregman might make his debut with the torpedo bat in the game against the Orioles on Wednesday. Bregman shared a picture of the AB2 Torpedo bat along with a rocket symbol on his Instagram account on Tuesday. Enough to stock the rumors!

Introducing his own torpedo bat to fans, Bregman is surely giving a positive hint to the words on the street. Just like he was open to playing at any position the Red Sox would have assigned, Alex Bregman is all up and about trying out new tools.

The Red Sox are relying heavily on Bregman’s defensive play this season. However, his offensive numbers have been modest in the early going. So, probably a game-changing spark at the plate is on its way.

Who would have thought that a redistributed mass in the conventional bat could create such a furor in the baseball community? The added mass near the bat label ensured better connecting areas with the ball. This also allows the hitter to minimize their miss area. Given all these technicalities, it is still not proven if the torpedo bats are behind the recent success of the Yankees, though. Because the 36-run barrage of the Yankees in the first week of the regular season includes a 3-homer stint by Aaron Judge, who did not use a torpedo.

But game-changer or not, torpedo bats are buzz creators for sure!

Torpedo bats are going to change the status quo in baseball

The torpedo bat, according to the Phillies 2B, Bryson Stott, isn’t for everyone and will only help batters who are constantly jammed, as evidenced by thousands of data points. “If you hit it off the end, with that torpedo bat, you’re in trouble,“ he explained. “So it’s mostly where you hit it and where all their computers and things are telling you where you’re hitting it.“

So, basically, torpedo bats identify the hitting areas of every individual slugger and put more mass on the exact spot. And that’s something irresistible for players like Alex Bregman.

But is it not an undue advantage for the batters to get over the pitchers?

“Just what we need,“ a veteran scout said, “another incentive for pitchers to not throw strikes.“ Even though pitching is evolving, that’s the play of pure skills with no external tools. And the torpedo bats might defy that notion. “If this is legal (which it sounds like it is?) Every team is going to start doing this until the home runs and offense become video game numbers league-wide and then it will be banned,” MLB insider Jared Carrabis said.

Probably yes, those days are knocking on the door when home runs will be hit for fun, affecting the balance between the hitters and pitchers.

Do you think the torpedo bats are the actual culprit? Or is it the skills that will ultimately do the talking?
