Matching their franchise record for HRs in a game in only 4 innings is wild!

Note that Aaron Judge hit 3 of those home runs (including a grand slam) and he did not use a torpedo bat.

Good. Baseball isn't a serious spectator sport. It's only interesting to statisticians. Now there will be more work for them to do, adjusting for bat type in addition to stadium dimensions, rule changes, etc. to compare players across eras. And more HRs might make it a little more interesting to spectators as long as the OBP doesn't increase to prolong an already too long game.

A bat needs to be round, a solid piece of wood, less than a certain length and less than a certain diameter. The actual shape is not defined. by daedrdev 1 minute ago
