Baton Rouge-based bat maker hits home run with MLB's torpedo bat craze
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Torpedo bats have quickly become one of the hottest topics in Major League Baseball this season—and they're being made right here in Baton Rouge. The New York Yankees made headlines after hitting nine home runs in a single game, with several of those blasts coming off torpedo bats. Advertisement Among the players using them is Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe, who swings a Victus bat — a brand owned by Marucci Sports. The sports equipment manufacturer is headquartered in Baton Rouge and is seeing soaring demand. Kurt Ainsworth, co-founder and CEO of Marucci Sports, said that approximately 55% of MLB players use either Marucci or Victus bats. The company's torpedo model is one of the latest innovations now in the hands of major leaguers—and available to the public. MLB stars swinging Marucci or Victus include former LSU standout Alex Bregman, as well as Bobby Witt Jr., Julio Rodríguez, Austin Riley, Freddie Freeman, and Trea Turner. Last season, Giancarlo Stanton and Francisco Lindor both used torpedo bat models developed by Marucci. The company confirmed Lindor's model, the Lindy12 Torpedo Pro Exclusive, is still in use this season. Advertisement Bregman's $120 million, 3-year deal with Red Sox includes $60 million deferred, paid from 2035-46 What makes torpedo bats different? 'The torpedo model shifts mass from the end of the bat down toward the barrel to expand the sweet spot,' Ainsworth explained. That shift doesn't change the bat's diameter, he said, but it does increase the hittable area, giving hitters a better chance of solid contact—a strategic advantage as pitchers continue to throw harder and fielders rely more heavily on positioning data. 'For torpedo models, it's even more important to leverage player swing data to see where on the bat they most consistently make contact,' Ainsworth said. Advertisement As of this week, Ainsworth said about half of all Marucci's MLB orders include requests to test torpedo models. Photos shared by Marucci show close-ups of the distinctive bat alongside others in production, reflecting the company's sharp focus on innovation and customization.

Ainsworth said the company can produce over 1,000 bats per day, with custom bats turned around in seven to ten days on average. 'Our team is always looking to innovate to help hitters adapt to the evolving game,' Ainsworth said.

Demand for viral ‘torpedo' baseball bats has sent a Pennsylvania factory into overdrive
Ammon News - A 70-year-old man who plays in an area senior hardball league popped into Victus Sports this week because he needed bats for the new season. Plus he just had to take some cuts with baseball's latest fad and see for himself if there really was some wizardry in the wallop off a torpedo bat. Ed Costantini, of Newtown Square, picked up the custom-designed VOLPE11-TPD Pro Reserve Maple, and took his hacks just like MLB stars and Victus customers Anthony Volpe or Bryson Stott would inside the company's batting cage and tracked the ball's path on the virtual Citizens Bank Park on the computer screens. Most big leaguers use that often indistinguishable 'feel' as a qualifier as to how they select a bat. Costantini had a similar process and thought the hype surrounding the torpedo since it exploded into the baseball consciousness over the weekend was a 'hoax.' But after dozens of swings in the cage, where he said the balance was better, the ball sounded more crisp off the bat, the left-handed hitter ordered on the spot four custom-crafted torpedo bats at $150 a pop. 'The litmus test that I used was, I could see where the marks of the ball were,' Costantini said. 'The swings were hitting the thickness of the torpedo as opposed to the end of the bat.' More than just All-Stars want a crack at the torpedo — a striking design in which wood is moved lower down the barrel after the label and shapes the end a little like a bowling pin — and Costantini's purchase highlighted the surge of interest in baseball's shiny new toy outside the majors. Think of home runs in baseball, and the fan's mind races to the mammoth distances a ball can fly when slugged right on the nose, or a history-making chase that captivates a nation. Of lesser interest, the ol' reliable wood bat itself. That was, of course, until Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger hit back-to-back homers for the New York Yankees last Saturday to open a nine-homer barrage. Victus Sports, known as much for their vibrant bats painted as pencils or the Phillie Phanatic dressed as a King's Guard, had three employees at the game and they started a text thread where they hinted to those back home that, perhaps more than home runs were taking off. Business was about to boom, too. Yankees crowed about the torpedo-shape concept that had baseball buzzing and pitchers grumbling. The scuttlebutt and headlines stoked their super curious peers, most with an eye out for any legal, offensive edge, into asking Victus and other bat manufacturers about the possibility of taking a swing with the most famous style of bat since Roy Hobbs grabbed a 'Wonderboy.' *AP
