Jazz Chisholm Jr. Calls Out 'Idiots' Criticizing Yankees' 'Torpedo' Bats

Jack MurrayMar 31, 2025

New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. is already sick of the outrage sparked over the team's new "Torpedo" bats.

The Yankees hit 15 home runs in their first series against the Milwaukee Brewers, tying the MLB record for the most through the first three games of a season. This was the team's first use of the new bat design, which features an elongated barrel but still meets the standard in the latest collective bargaining agreement.

Following some of the criticism of the new equipment, Chisholm took to social media to call out the "idiots" who believe the bats should not be legal.

He also explained how the bats feel to reporters, saying that it feels like "my bat" and that he feels "comfortable in the box."

"I mean, it still felt like my bat," Chisholm said on Sunday, per Jeff Passan of ESPN. "I hit the ball at the barrel, feel comfortable in the box. I don't know what else to tell you. I don't know the science of it. I'm just playing baseball."

Chisholm was one of several Yankees to excel with the new bat design as he hit .417/.500/1.167 with three home runs and six RBI in the first series. New York scored 36 runs in the three-game series and is one of four undefeated teams left in Major League Baseball.

On the heels of the Yankees' success, the Atlanta Braves have reportedly put in an order for the bats as well. Several other players around the league have also used the bat.

While it was just one series and it did happen at homer-friendly Yankee Stadium, Chisholm and the Yankees will hope the power surge continues as the team looks to build off last season's trip to the World Series.
