It's legal.
An MIT geek developed that bat.

Here's were I have the problem with ppl complaining. Marlins personnel I believe used these bats and nothing happened. Could be the players using the bat getting these results? Just like when Bonds decided to Juice bye bye Sammy and Mark. Also there is no way other teams didn't no about these bats.

Sammy's corked bat got exposed.

The Yankees as a team struck out sixteen times, thirteen coming from Zac Gaffen alone.

The torpedo bat has just one design flaw: the batter has to make contact.

I’ve been hearing about the bats but I have not read up on the technology. Why does the bat generate more home runs? What’s the technology around it?

More mass on the sweet spot.

Thus creating more torque. That makes sense. But there’s a theoretical limit based on overall weight of the bat. Seems like a longer bat could have the same result. Is the width of the sweet spot larger too?
