2025 Hype: Torpedo Bats: Game-Changing Tech or Just Hype? What Baseball Parents Need to Know
There’s a new bat on the block causing serious chatter across Major League Baseball — the torpedo bat. After the New York Yankees exploded for 18 home runs in their first four games using this untraditional equipment, torpedo bats have gone from training room curiosity to national headline. But are they just a short-term trend, or could this be a turning point in baseball equipment technology?

How to Teach Baseball Situations Without Overwhelming Your Kid

Between game-day lineups, mid-week practices, and the dozens of small decisions that shape a season, coaches wear a lot of hats: instructor, motivator, strategist, mentor.
