Baseball Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins has weighed in on a potential game-changer in the world of baseball: the 'torpedo' bat. During a recent appearance on OutKick's "The Ricky Cobb Show," Jenkins discussed how these bats could lead to higher batting averages.
Jenkins explained that the unique design of the torpedo bat, which features a weighted end, could help hitters generate more bat speed and power. This, in turn, could lead to more solid contact and a greater number of hits.
"The way these bats are designed, it allows for a quicker swing and more power behind the ball," Jenkins said. "I think we could see batting averages climb if more players start using them."
While the use of torpedo bats is still relatively new, Jenkins believes they have the potential to revolutionize the game and bring about a new era of offensive dominance. Only time will tell if his prediction comes true, but the baseball world is certainly watching with interest.
