No, the MLB should not ban the new “torpedo” bats

With the MLB season starting last week, there is already much discussion about a particular aspect of the game unique to this season. No, I am not talking about the pitch clock or robot umpires. Instead, the new “Torpedo” bats, introduced by the New York Yankees, have sparked one of the biggest debates in sports currently. 
The torpedo bat was created by New York Yankees analyst Aaron Leanhardt, and introduced by the Yankees in their game against the Milwaukee Brewers. In that game, the Yankees hit nine home runs, leading them to win 20-9. Directly after these games, the league took notice and many other MLB teams placed orders for the new torpedo bats. Fans and analysts started to see a trend after the Cincinnati Reds debuted the torpedo bats against the Texas Rangers, a game in which Elly De La Cruz went 4-5 with 2 home runs and 11 RBIs. Now that the torpedo bats have proven to be effective in batters’ performance, it provokes an argument for and against the use of the bats.
The bat itself has a thicker barrel closer to the batter’s hands and is thinner up top, which helps certain batters both make contact more often and have more power. Although the bat currently complies with the MLB rules, many skeptics believe that the bat will be banned since it gives an unfair advantage to the batters, therefore disincentivizing pitchers to throw strikes. Even if the bat is currently legal, historically the MLB has been open to rule changes as needed. 
For me as a baseball fan, I believe that the torpedo bat is perfect for the MLB in 2025. In recent years, the MLB has made many changes to drive viewership up, including implementing a pitch clock and widening the bases. Although those changes were effective, the MLB will be best revived if many runs are scored. For the casual baseball fans, they are not looking to see low-scoring pitching battles, instead, they want to see strong offense. For the MLB, the torpedo bat is great since they can increase the hits in a game without doing anything controversial like they have done in the past with juiced balls. As this debate rages on, it will be interesting if the MLB decides to take action or stick with the new bats.
