Here’s what a few folks, mostly players, had to say about the bats across MLB:
Anthony Volpe, New York Yankees shortstop, torpedo bat user: “I know I’m bought in. The bigger you can have the barrel where you hit the ball, it makes sense to me.”
Jazz Chisholm Jr., New York Yankees third baseman, torpedo bat user: “It doesn’t feel like a different bat. It just helps you in a little way, I guess.”
In a tweet Monday, Chisholm fired back at those who are questioning the bat’s construction and legality.
Okay explanation the barrel is bigger and within mlb regulation! For the idiots that say it’s moved to the label you’re an idiot! Nobody is trying to get jammed you just move the wood from the parts you don’t use to the parts you do! You’re welcome no more stress for y’all !

Cody Bellinger, New York Yankees outfielder, torpedo bat user: “I started swinging this one in spring or before spring, kind of early on, and I was like, ‘Oh, it feels good.’ It was an ounce lighter than the one I was swinging, but I think the way the weight was distributed felt really good.”
