Max Muncy -- the Los Angeles Dodgers one, not the A's guy -- decided to try the now-famous (or infamous, as some feel) torpedo bat on Wednesday night in an eventual win over the Atlanta Braves.

With Muncy ditching the torpedo, the Dodgers had the game all knotted up at five when Shohei Ohtani came to bat with two outs in the ninth and no one on base. The Japanese superstar drilled a home run to center to walk it off, giving Los Angeles a 6-5 win and an 8-0 record while Atlanta flounders to an 0-7 embarrassment.

The New York Yankees took the baseball world by storm when they made it public that they were using a new piece of hitting technology dubbed the torpedo bat. Th

Kiké Hernández struck out on the next at-bat to end the inning and strand Muncy at second, but then Shohei Ohtani came through one inning later with a walkoff homer on his bobblehead night. The Dodgers are now 8-0, the longest undefeated run by a defending champion to open the season in MLB history.

Will there be a significant offensive surge in baseball now that hitters across the league want their hands on the bats? Maybe, but not anytime soon.

Dodgers star Max Muncy added to the sudden torpedo bat craze. He emerged as the latest MLB player seen using one before facing the Braves.

It should be noted that one Yankee declined to use the torpedo bat. Aaron Judge said he was more comfortable with conventional lumber, which is what he used to blast four home runs in 11 at bats. The Brewers finally gave up and walked him intentionally — with the bases empty.

The reaction across MLB to the design of the New York Yankees' new 'torpedo' bats after the Bronx Bombers belted 13 home runs in two games was swift.
