If you haven't heard about 'torpedo bats" by now, you need to climb out from under that rock. Reds star Elly De La Cruz used a torpedo bat for the first time last night and he absolutely raked! The Yankees are already piling up runs this season with a number of their guys using the bats and the entire sports world is fascinated by the phenomenon. Interestingly, these bats have been legal and used by a select few players for years and it's only now, with more widespread use, that the world is taking notice.
Dan Patrick: "I don't know if the torpedo bats are going to be outlawed or they're going to be reexamined. I don't know if there's an outcry from...unless there's all the pitchers formed a union and they go, 'We are going on strike! We're not pitching until you get rid of torpedo bats!' Baseball has to love this!"
