MIT physicist Aaron Leanhardt has been credited with creating the torpedo bats. Leanhardt previously served as a hitting analyst with the Yankees before he joined the Miami Marlins as a field coordinator in the offseason.

The New York Yankees have gotten off to a record-setting start to the campaign.  To begin the year, the Yankees were able to sweep the Milwaukee Brewers.

It's gotten plenty of attention from around the league and also from Cleveland Cavaliers star and noted New York Mets fan Donovan Mitchell, who joked that the Yankees should be suspended for the season for deploying the new bats to such great effect.
