He&#8217;s hit three home runs in two games with the unusual-looking bat, which has more mass below the barrel to help hitters who tend to make contact closer to the label than the true barrel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_vp6iqcxsy\">The New York Yankees\u00a0hit a franchise-record nine home runs\u00a0in a single game Saturday, where Chisholm contributed one long ball. Anthony Volpe homered Saturday with a new custom-made bat, too. Chisholm followed it up with two more homers on Sunday and\u00a0spoke to his newly infamous &#8220;torpedo&#8221; bat postgame.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_zbmrqbot1\">&#8220;I love my bat,&#8221; he said to reporters after the Yankees&#8217; 12\u20133 win over the Milwaukee Brewers Sunday via YES Network. &#8220;I think you can tell it&#8217;s working pretty well for me. It doesn&#8217;t feel like a different bat, it just helps you in a little way\u2014I guess.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_xfe7tw00m\">Chisholm said he started to use the new bat the last week and a half of spring and he has used it ever since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ifwws1u9m\">&#8220;It still felt like my bat,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;It feels good. Hit the ball off the barrel, feel comfortable in the box. &#8230; I don&#8217;t know the science of it, I just play baseball.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_cd6zlinwy\">He said he doesn&#8217;t feel that the ball comes off the bat differently or changes the exit velocity, but that it gives a &#8220;feeling like you have more to work with.&#8221; Even if that&#8217;s not the case, Chisholm says the new twig provides some extra confidence, too.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"style_1y6if9u-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ip80xjixx\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004 ot-vscat-C0004 \" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1906452969291157682&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fmlb%2Fjazz-chisholm-jr-addressed-new-torpedo-bat-three-homers-two-games-yankees&amp;sessionId=c283cfcc259803f5e9b100f9e4e318f291836081&amp;siteScreenName=SInow&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1906452969291157682\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_0j95wotih\">Since the &#8220;torpedo&#8221; bat took the baseball world by storm during the home-run party in the Bronx on Saturday, plenty of questions have surfaced. Most importantly, the MLB said that the\u00a0Yankees&#8217; new bats are legal.\u00a0With the success that Chisholm and some teammates are seeing in the Bronx, the biggest question is when other teams begin to play copycat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Yankees second baseman Chisholm Jr. flips his bat after hitting a three run home run against the Milwaukee Brewers during the seventh inning at Yankee&#8230;
