Yes, the Yankees have a literal genius MIT Physicist, Lenny (who is the man), on payroll. He invented the “Torpedo” barrel. It brings more wood - and mass - to where you most often make contact as a hitter. The idea is to increase the number of “barrels” and decrease misses.

Had a great time talking about infield play with @KJS_4 If you are an infielder or someone who coaches infielders it’s worth everything second of your time. And go read his articles!
We sat down with former MLB infielder Kevin Smith to break down the details that separate good infielders from elite ones. The Dugout Dish Episode 157 with Kevin Smith is on Apple, Spotify & YouTube. #BaseballDevelopment #BaseballRecruiting #MiddleInfield #BaseballTraining

This is insane. To think about how much better the stuff is now compared to 2007. And then think about more pitches being called strikes. And thinking about how more pitches that are harder to hit in harder to hit locations are being called strikes … And layer in analytics and how they know exactly how to get you out. And guys are still having incredible success, is, almost impossible to believe.
One of the coolest visualizations I've ever seen-- the evolution of the MLB strike zone from 2007 to 2025. The zone has changed dramatically-- going from vibes to nearly matching the rulebook definition perfectly. They're remarkably good. reddit.com/r/baseball/commen…

This is a huge difference when moving to 3B. You have to be so much better going back on balls compared to SS. Everything gets on you quicker. Most grounders have less bounces - so they get on your quicker and stay hotter longer. 3B grounders have way more spin on them than SS grounders. Top spin makes the hops play different, and most of the time you only get a couple at 3B to create your hop. You need the ability to go back on balls to get the hop you need to get. There’s way more ways to get stuck in between hops at 3B. The best can drop step to create time, create angles, and create the hop they need. It’s also huge for getting your eyes to the side of the ball - which is key to fielding balls clean and getting good reads when EV are as high as they are at his level. He’s training the right things.
Ah yes, classic baseball fundamentals of running away from the ball while trying to field it

Imagine wearing headphones in the water and listening to Dolphins talk about life.
We’re close to decoding dolphin speech using AI. If we do, we are opening a new chapter in understanding animal intelligence that’s never been achieved before.
