Science confirms torpedo bat works as well as regular bat

kaonwarb: Disappointing article. As another commenter mentioned, the very last sentence of the article reveals a potentially positive impact on batting average, which is extremely relevant to how well a bat works! But this seems to be ignored by the conclusion of both the researchers and the article, which focuses on hitting power.

sam1r: This is just the most oxymoronic article. It’s like it knew we would all be like… wait.

jeffbee: Imagine writing a whole article like this and only including one really unclear photo with a distracting background and not indicating which bat is which in the photo.

nsxwolf: Very ugly bat. Poor aesthetics for baseball.

devindotcom: the last sentence is part of a paragraph specifying it "might" be better for "some players who like to hit the ball closer in"not really ignored when it's in the article. the researchers themselves are quoted saying the results are incredibly close.

wnevets: I forgot all about the torpedo bat "craze", It was largely a dead story by the all star break.

talkfold: Scientists spent money confirming that wood is wood.
