Brewers closer Trevor Megill, however, compared them to bowling ball pins and suggested they gave the Yankees an unfair advantage. Major League Baseball has confirmed repeatedly that the bats are legal, but the discussion didn’t die down. It only intensified.

Aaron Judge became the first player in Yankees history to hit at least four homers in the team’s first three games.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. likes his new torpedo-shaped bat quite a bit. He's hit three home runs in two games with the unusual-looking bat, which has more mass below the barrel to help hitters who tend to make contact closer to the label than the true barrel.
