Max Muncy became the first Los Angeles Dodgers player to use the new torpedo bat design in Wednesday’s game against the Atlanta Braves. Muncy went 0-for-3 with the bowling pin-shaped bat before switching to his usual lumber for what wound up being a game-tying two-run double in the eighth inning.

Dodgers star Max Muncy added to the sudden torpedo bat craze. He emerged as the latest MLB player seen using one before facing the Braves.

YES announcer Michael Kay pointed out during the broadcast that several players had been using a design with a barrel closer to the hands.

Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman aggravated his surgically repaired ankle when he slipped in the shower, keeping him out of the lineup vs. Atlanta.
