This isn't new.
There are a few players throughout the league using torpedo bats. 5* on the Yankees

Orioles weigh in on torpedo bats after Yankees blast 9 homers

“I think it’s pretty good business right there, right? Where you hit the ball, put some more mass in the sweet spot,” Orioles hitting coach Cody Asche said.

The notion that the Yankees just popped out with this and didn't get it vetted and approved by MLB is hilarious


You'd also think the whole team was using them based on the outcry, it's two players and the guy who hit the most HRs this weekend isn't one of them

how is it worse when its legal ?

Just like what the Dodgers did with their deferred payments - which, unfortunately, is totally legal - the Yankees had to get creative. All while playing within the confines of the rulebook.

Maybe the Brewers just aren't pitching well right now. They gave up 11 runs to the Royals last nite to. Besides game one they been getting shelled.
I really don't see the controversy and the sample size is too small to declare it this huge advantage. Besides you still have to hit the ball in the right spot of the bat.
