The game of baseball is built on tradition—but when innovation strikes, it can change everything. That’s exactly what’s happening with the rise of the Torpedo wood bat design, a cutting-edge bat shape that’s quickly becoming a favorite among MLB hitters. At SPC Sports, we’re proud to be one of the first retailers offering a full lineup of Tucci, Rawlings, and Marucci Torpedo bats.
If you’ve been following the recent headlines, you know the Torpedo bat is no gimmick. This revolutionary design is changing the game at the professional level—and it's now available to players everywhere through our wood bats collection.
What Is the Torpedo Bat?
The Torpedo bat gets its name from its distinctive barrel shape—sleek and tapered like a torpedo, yet engineered for maximum mass distribution and swing efficiency. Unlike traditional wood bats with a single-barrel profile, the Torpedo design redistributes weight toward the hands, increasing bat control without sacrificing power.
This shape not only helps players get through the zone quicker, but it also enhances bat speed and exit velocity. The result? More contact. More power. More production.
MLB Players Are Taking Notice
The surge in popularity started when several New York Yankees players began using the Torpedo-style bat in games, leading to eye-popping results. During one stretch, the Yankees set a team record for home runs in a single game, many of them hit with a Torpedo bat.
Now, other major leaguers are testing the design, and baseball insiders and analysts alike are taking note. As more players report improved balance, bat speed, and better results at the plate, this new profile is poised to become the next big shift in professional hitting.
