Torpedo bats are here! Based on innovations by Professor Aaron Leanhardt (“Lenny”), they’re differently configured: more bulk toward the handles, by the labels. The bats are further customized based on the comfort zone of the major-league ballplayer. Or can they be hazardous to a hitter’s health? Nothing in the specifications or professional North American rules contradicts the basic-design shape. So far. (We’re barely out of March 2025.) The on-deck baseball doughnut developed by Elston Howard; Roger Maris’s 34-ounce H&B; Babe Ruth’s mighty stick—the ash-wood Louisville Slugger; 30 years ago, maple wood. So yesterday. Today? Torpedomania! Right off the Bat indeed.
