Yankees outfielder and 2024 American League MVP Aaron Judge led the charge, hitting three balls over the Yankee Stadium outfield wall while driving in eight of New York's 20 runs in Saturday's blowout win.

The Yankees' new "Torpedo" bats are the talk of baseball. The bats -- which Major League Baseball confirmed are legal \-\- are defined by an untraditional barrel, which rests closer to the hitter's hands.

The torpedo bats, designed by former Yankees staffer and MIT physicist Aaron Leanhardt, are engineered to redistribute weight closer to the hands, giving hitters the feel of a lighter swing while maintaining barrel mass. That combination, in theory, boosts barrel consistency without sacrificing power.
