Donovan Mitchell Jokes Yankees Should Be Suspended for MLB Season Over Torpedo Bats

The New York Yankees' torpedo bats partially led to the team's dominant three-game sweep and 36-run onslaught against the Milwaukee Brewers to open the season.

It's gotten plenty of attention from around the league and also from Cleveland Cavaliers star and noted New York Mets fan Donovan Mitchell, who joked that the Yankees should be suspended for the season for deploying the new bats to such great effect.

Mitchell was responding to a social media post from Yankees outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr., who is using a torpedo bat and tried to explain how it works.

Major League Baseball has already confirmed that the bats are legal. Kevin Smith provided more insight.

Mitchell's father, Donovan Mitchell Sr., was a coach and player in the Mets organization before later becoming the team's director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, per MLB.com's Bill Ladson. Mitchell grew up with his father involved with the organization, hanging around in clubhouses.

On the field, the Mets have started 2-2 but just broke out their bats with a 10-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday.

On the court, Mitchell's Cavs are 60-15 and looking very likely to clinch the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
