The Torpedo bats are as bad as the tush-push.
Give it to the Yankmees to try and recapture their dominance by creating controversy and skirting the cork bats of old.
There was a big discussion when Barry Bonds was hitting so many home runs; his bat was a 34, McGwire's was a bit longer and heavier but they were both shorter than the traditional "slugger" bats that were often max length and weight. The key for them was to increase bat speed. But Bonds actually choked up almost 2 inches! Any player who goes up to the plate with a 32" bat will get pitched outside all day long but for Bonds, they still made the mistake of coming inside to him.
So the Torpedo bats are doing this without sacrificing length BUT there aren't a lot of positive results that come from hitting a ball off that last 2" unless it's fouling off strike 3, so I'd be inclined to taper that end down to a point and have as much mass around the 18â28" zone, tapering down to a point. I wouldn't be so subtle and the overall length might be 32. That would get the bat speed up, increase the sweet spot by a lot, and if the batter's fooled by a pitch outside, he wouldn't even hit it into that double play...

I saw that Max Muncy (Born August 25 2002) got a hit for the Sackamenna A's and was shocked that the Dodgers let him go! Turns out it's a different Max Muncy, born exactly 12 years earlier (August 25 1990), no relation.
Yeah and the Giants have picked up some guys that should at least get them into oh maybe 3rd place. I expect the Padres to collapse like the Giants have been so maybe we can Wild Card the Dodgers again.

He was on NYPD Blue not Hill St., then he was on Blue Bloods. I think he's still on SVU sometimes as well. He did work in several of Spike Lee's films before his regular TV stints.
You're right about NYPD Blue, my bad. Didn't know he was on Blue Bloods (never watched a full episode).
Just came across another "Hey Juan Soto F You" post on my Twitter feed, from a total stranger whom I don't follow. What is Musky Melon trying to tell me...
Juan Soto leaves a few broken hearts behind. Definitely NSFW.
Bonus points to those who recognize Nick Turturro (yes, John and Aida's brother) from his salad days on Hill Street Blues.
