The Brewers were on the wrong side of the Yankees and their new Torpille bats on Saturday – and the criticisms on the opposite side were mixed.
“I think it’s terrible,” said Milwaukee’s right-hander, Trevor Megill, with bats who had a barrel in a non-traditional place. We will see what the data say. I have never seen anything like this before. I have the impression that it is something useful in Slo-Pitch softball. It’s genius: put the mass in the same place. It could be Bush (League). It may not be. But these are the Yankees, so they will let him slide. “”
But Megill’s teammate, Rhys Hoskins, had a predictable reaction once he obtained his first close-up of the bats used by several Yankees on Saturday, notably Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm Jr.
“I only saw it after the match,” said Hoskins. “They found a way to make it work. Logically, it makes sense, but I am not a physicist. But how could I not want to look more there?
