Roy Hobbs, the fabled swinger of his beloved “Wonderboy,” might disagree. But there really is no such thing as a “magic bat.” When MLB hitters select their sticks, they must make certain compromises.

Torpedo bats have recently become popular thanks to the Yankees, but Victus Sports in Pennsylvania said they've been working on them for a while.

MLB’s bat regulations are fairly lax. The “torpedo” bats are legal so long as they follow league Rule 3.02, which states: “The bat shall be a smooth, round stick not more than 2.61 inches in diameter at the thickest part and not more than 42 inches in length. The bat shall be one piece of solid wood.”

Torpedo bats are a cutting-edge innovation that reshapes the traditional baseball bat into a more customized and performance-driven tool.
