The Brewers have been on the mistaken finish of the Yankees and their new torpedo bats on Saturday — and the evaluations from the opposing aspect have been blended.
“I think it’s terrible,’’ Milwaukee right-hander Trevor Megill told The Post of the bats that had the barrel in a non-traditional spot. “We’ll see what the data says. I’ve never seen anything like it before. I feel like it’s something used in slo-pitch softball. It’s genius: Put the mass all in one spot. It might be bush [league]. It might not be. But it’s the Yankees, so they’ll let it slide.”
However Megill’s teammate, Rhys Hoskins, had a predictably completely different response as soon as he obtained his first closeup view of the bats utilized by a number of Yankees on Saturday, together with Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm Jr.
“I didn’t see it until after the game,’’ Hoskins said. “They figured out a way to make it work. Logically, it makes a lot of sense, but I’m not a physicist. But how could I not want to look into it more?”
