Home Run Props & Odds for Every Player Using a Torpedo Bat on Tuesday

- Several New York Yankees are using a new style of bat, dubbed a “torpedo” bat
- Early returns for the Pinstripes’ new bat have been wildly successful
- Below, see the home run odds on Tuesday, April 1st
The New York Yankees may have just revolutionized hitting. Working with an MIT physicist (Aaron Leanhardt), the Yankees designed a new style of bat that several of its starters are using in the 2025 regular season. The results so far have been almost too good to be true, at least for the Yankees players using the new style of lumber. The handful of other players across the league aren’t seeing the same success. More on that below.
Home Run Odds for Hitters Using “Torpedo Bat”
At the moment, the only home run odds on the board for a player using a torpedo bat belong to Minnesota catcher Ryan Jeffers, who’s off to a sluggish start to the season” 1-for-8 with a single and no walks in two games.

The Mets’ Francisco Lindor is 0-for-11 with three Ks, no walks, and one HBP after NYM’s three-game series against the Astros in Houston. It’s unclear if he’s playing tonight when the Mets start a three-game set at Miami. He’s not currently on the board in the Mets vs Marlins player props.
With the Yankees off on Monday, sportsbooks aren’t likely to post props for Tuesday’s Yankees vs Diamondbacks matchup (Corbin Burnes vs Will Warren) until later on Monday night at the earliest. The table above will be updated when the Diamondbacks vs Yankees player props are posted. You can also check back with SBD’s MLB player props page.
2025 vs 2024 Stats for Players Using Torpedo Bats
Adding Davis Schneider’s poor start to that of Lindor and Jeffers, all three non-Yankees who have been using a torpedo bat are trending in the wrong direction.
That stands in stark contrast to the four Yankees who are confirmed to be using torpedo bats. Each one has gone yard at least once (three have gone deep at least twice in the first two games) and all four have a significantly higher OPS through three games than they did in 2024.
Yes, it’s early days and this is a miniscule sample size. But the results are also too good to ignore completely.
