The New York Yankees achieved a remarkable offensive feat by hitting nine home runs in a single game against the Milwaukee Brewers, leading to a final score of 20-9 on Saturday. Notably, Aaron Judge contributed three of those home runs.

“Wow, what a performance. Kind of a weird, crazy game,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone remarked. “… Obviously, a lot of really great at-bats. Just a weird sky, weird game. Good to get a win.”

The game showcased a novel bat design being used by several players, including Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe. The revamped shape positions the barrel closer to the label, optimizing contact points for hitters.

Michael Kay of the YES Network emphasized that the new approach minimizes misses and enhances the chances of barreled balls.

Chisholm and Volpe both demonstrated success with this design as they also hit home runs during the game, highlighting its effectiveness early in the season.
