Jazz Chisholm Jr. Defends Yankees' Torpedo Bats Amid Controversy

Jazz Chisholm Jr. has become a focal point in the ongoing discussion about the New York Yankees' newly introduced 'torpedo bats,' which have contributed to the team's impressive start to the 2025 season. During their opening series against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Yankees hit a record-setting 15 home runs, with Chisholm notably hitting three himself. Despite some criticism regarding the bats, which are designed to enhance barrel contact, both Chisholm and Major League Baseball have confirmed their legality. In a playful exchange, Chisholm responded to Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy, who criticized the bats, emphasizing his confidence in using them. The torpedo bats, created by a former Yankees analyst, have sparked both excitement and skepticism, but Chisholm insists they work well for him and other players. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on how these bats impact performance across the league.
