Torpedo bats help New York Yankees hit a new record! The star pitcher asked to let go of the adhesive substance

The New York Yankees hit 18 home runs in the first four games of the new season, and the "torpedo bat" used by many players on the team has also become the hottest topic, but some people think that this has ruined the fairness of the game, and Matt Strahm, the star backup pitcher of the Phillies people, said, "Since the hitter can use a torpedo stick, the pitcher should also be able to use pine tar."

"If the batter can use whatever bat he wants, the pitcher should also be able to use pine tar to increase grip strength." Also, Stram said, remove the mandatory inspection of pitchers." In the past, pitchers used sticky substances such as sunscreen and rosin oil to help them grip the ball more firmly, improve ball control, and increase rotational speed, but since 2021, the major leagues have strictly inspected pitchers using sticky substances, and the policy on external substances has become more and more strict, just for the sake of fairness.

Stram stressed that he did not want to revert to the "super sticky" stuff that was too strong, but believed that loose tar should be allowed to allow pitchers to control the ball consistently.

The Yankees hit 18 home runs in the first four games of the new season to set a major league record, and the torpedo bats used by five players in the team, including Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Paul Goldschmidt, Anthony Volpe, and Austin Wells, have also attracted attention from the baseball community Cruz) also knocked out a double cannon in the first battle with a torpedo bat.

However, Aaron Leanhardt, a 48-year-old doctor of physics at MIT and the inventor of the torpedo bat, believes that the focus of performance improvement is on the hitter and the coach themselves, not on the bat.
