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.

"I think it’s an amazing discovery," said Angels outfielder Taylor Ward, one of many players suddenly interested in the new bats.

While the bats aren’t for everybody — Aaron Judge, for example, is sticking to the bat-shape that has made him a generational hitter — Anthony Volpe, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Cody Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt and Austin Wells may have started a polarizing new trend amongst hitters.

Aaron Judge has owned Tarik Skubal, and the Tigers lefty hasn't been sharp to open the season. Even if Skubal pitches to his potential, Carlos Carrasco toes the rubber for the Yankees, giving us a clear path to cashing the Over 7.5.
