Commissioner Major League Baseball Rob Manfred says the torpedo bats are “absolutely good for baseball” after bats raised last week after a commission after the battery of running home New York Yankees.
“I believe problems like Torpedo Bat and the debate around her show the fact that baseball still occupies a unique place in our culture,” Manfred Manfred said New York Times In Q&A published on Sunday “Because people get into complete madness over something that really is nothing at the end of the day. Bats follow the rules.”
Yankees hit nine domestic runs against Milwaukee Brewers 29. March and the use of torpedo bats of several players brought some control.
Bats, as Manfred noted, have been used since for several years Miami Marlins Staffer Aaron Leanhardt helped bring more matter to a sweet place in their development. Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton was among the players who used a bat in 2024 and said he was planning Hold on After returning from injuries to both elbows.
“For years, players have been moving with a sweet stain in bats,” said Manfred The Times. “But it just shows that something about the game is more important than captured by a television assessment or income or one of these things when you have discussions and debates.”
Last week, manager Yankees Aaron Boone prevented the use of of the torpedo bats and says it’s an example “just trying to be the best we can be.” In the last week, many players and teams have ordered bats that are adhered to according to the relatively uncomplicated MLB rules around the bat.
Manfred hit a number of other topics in his extensive interview with The Times. The Commissioner appreciated Test Referees Robots for Calling Balls and Strokes During the spring training and said that it expects the system to be used in large societies in the near future, perhaps next season.
“It won’t be in 2025. It would be in 2026,” Manfred said. “Here’s the reason I am uncertain: we could go to MLBP and say that we want to go in 2026. Since it is a year of negotiation, it would not be shocking to say,” Let’s negotiate with it. Let’s wait. “”
Manfred also reiterated his desire to see MLB expansion and said he hoped that at the time he left the commissioner in 2029, “at least chose cities”.
