The New York Yankees stole the show during MLB's opening weekend, tying the major league record with 15 home runs during their first three games of the season, including a franchise record NINE on Saturday alone. Aaron Judge led the way with four long balls over the weekend, but the rest of the lineup all brought the lumber as well. New lumber, that is, in the form of the 'torpedo bat' that has taken the league by storm. It's the latest analytical development in a sport that has become driven by science and engulfed with advanced metrics. Today on Paintin' Korners we break down the impact that the new 'torpedo bat' has on the game, and what the pros and cons are with using it. Plus, we take a deep dive into the Cleveland Guardian and Yankees opening series victories, discusing what surprised us, where are some areas of concern, and potential breakout stars for both.
