Yankees' 'Torpedo Bat' Shakes Up MLB: Physics-Defying Slugger or Fair Game?

Its unique design, featuring a thicker barrel closer to the handle, significantly improves hitters' contact and power, leading to a franchise-record 9 home runs in a single game. While currently legal under MLB rules, the bat's effectiveness has sparked debate about the future of baseball, with some calling for rule changes.
