Seattle Mariners players are also said to have ordered the bat.
The Seattle Times reported on the 2nd (Korean time) 'Hulio Rodriguez, Carl Raleigh, and Jorge Polanco also joined the team. It's not exactly clear that they've been anxious to test the torpedo bat, which has emerged as a big issue in the majors over the past week, but they're moving to test it out to a certain extent, saying they're in the process of ordering a small amount of it from the manufacturer this week.
In an interview with the media, Rodriguez said, `Of course, I'm going to try it out. I'll have to see how it is" he said.
The Seattle Times added that there were no Mariners hitters wearing the bat until last Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers, but the product will soon arrive at the Mariners clubhouse.
In response, Seattle manager Dan Wilson responded, `It's an interesting phenomenon. I don't know what that bat looks like, what it feels like to hold it in your hand, and how it's different from the existing bat right now"I've seen technology affect the game over time. It's too early to say exactly about the torpedo bat."

Of course, Shohei Ohtani is in the spotlight. However, there are no reports yet that Ohtani is interested in torpedo bats. Of course, it seems unlikely that he ordered the bat.
Interest in torpedo bats is rapidly spreading as the Yankees hit home runs in the season-opening series.
The Yankees hit 15 home runs during a sweep of their opening three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers last weekend. It is the most tie in the first three games of the season in Major League history. In particular, in the second game, he hit nine home runs, including Aaron Judge's three home runs, setting a club record in this category. In Game 3 on the 31st, four home runs were hit, including Judge's two-run homer to the left in the bottom of the first inning.
Anthony Wolfie, Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisome Jr., wearing torpedo bats, hit two, one and three home runs, respectively, in the three-game series. However, Judge used the existing bat he used.
Torpedo bats are different from regular bats with bulging ends. The center of the bat where the ball is often hit is bulging. It looks like a torpedo. Not all Yankees batters use this bat.

When abnormal home run figures came out, MLB collected Yankees batters' bats on the 31st and started inspecting them. In response to the result, MLB stated that "the bat used by some Yankees players does not violate Major League Baseball regulations and the rules regarding bat manufacturers. MLB Rule 3.02 announced that the bat should not exceed 2.61 inches (6.63 cm) in diameter and 42 inches (106.68 cm) in length.
In other words, the torpedo bat does not violate MLB regulations.
