The game sent shockwaves across Major League Baseball. Other MLB teams have since placed an influx of orders with Hillerich & Bradsby, the Louisville-based company that makes Louisville Slugger bats and created the torpedo bats used by Yankee players over the weekend.

In hitting a franchise-record nine home runs on March 29, including becoming the first team in MLB history to homer on the first three pitches they saw, the New York Yankees didn't merely torpedo the Milwaukee Brewers' team ERA.

While other types of modified bats, such as corked bats, are strictly forbidden in the major leagues, MLB has already confirmed that torpedo bats are legal and allowed; the league itself has even released news articles highlighting them. This could pave the way for a new era of baseball, one in which home-run hitters take precedence.

New torpedo bats drew attention when the New York Yankees hit a team-record nine homers that traveled a combined 3,695 feet on Saturday.

The Yankees hit 15 homers and scored 36 runs in their first series and some were hit with torpedo bats — a bat designed with the barrel closer to the batter’s hands.

The "torpedo" bats are nothing new for the New York Yankees, who used the new equipment during last year's World Series run.
