List of players using the "torpedo" bat
Below is a full list of the known players using torpedo bats this season:
Adley Rutschman, C, Baltimore Orioles
Dansby Swanson, SS, Chicago Cubs
Nico Hoerner, 2B, Chicago Cubs
Ryan Jeffers, C, Minnesota Twins
Francisco Lindor, SS, New York Mets
Cody Bellinger, OF, New York Yankees
Jazz Chisholm Jr., 2B, New York Yankees
Paul Goldschmidt, 1B, New York Yankees
.417 .500 .750 1.250
Anthony Volpe, SS, New York Yankees
Austin Wells, C, New York Yankees
Junior Caminero, 3B, Tampa Bay Rays
Davis Schneider, OF, Toronto Blue Jays
The list is unlikely to stop there. Schneider's teammate, Ernie Clement already said he might experiment with using a torpedo bat during games. San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado seemed interested in getting a shipment of the bats sent to the Padres. Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins confirmed he already ordered a shipment and was waiting for it to arrive. Cleveland Guardians outfielder Lane Thomas doesn't appear to be using a torpedo bat, though said the bat he uses is similar.

Re: List of players using the "torpedo" bat
It seems like the design basically just helps you get more barrel when normally you would be jammed. but I assume it's at the expense of less bop towards the end of the bat. So, seems like pitchers could just pitch away a little more, or throw pitches that break away from hitters to get more balls off the end of the bat. It's cat and mouse I think.

Re: List of players using the "torpedo" bat
Every bat manufacturer is making several models with differing sweet spots. Players then select the model with the thickest part of the bat being closest to the spot on the bat where they typically make contact. It's an attempt to maximize the mass of the bat at contact.

Swanson’s barrel% so far is 5.9%, which would be his lowest since 2018.

interesting food for thought.

After what the White Sox did today, it might just be the Brewers pitching.
