Don’t count on Aaron Judge, the American League’s reigning MVP, to become the next Yankee to use the team’s new “torpedo” bat. Judge plans to stick with what has made him successful in his career.

“What I did the past couple of seasons speaks for itself,” Judge mentioned to reporters, including The Athletic. “Why try to change something if you have something that’s working?”

To Judge’s point, he boasts a .288/.406/.607 career slash line over his 10-plus seasons in the Majors, which includes six All-Star selections, four Silver Slugger Awards, and two MVP trophies. In other words, the bat he uses works just fine, thank you very much.

For those new to the concept of the “torpedo” bat, some Yankees players (including Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe) are using bats with changed physical attributes, shifting mass from the traditional barrel to the label area. The idea originates from Kevin Smith, a member of the Yankees front office who aims to improve contact rates. While this modification is legal under MLB’s regulations, it has drawn scrutiny after the Yankees scored 20 runs against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.

Judge, using his traditional bat, hit three home runs and drove in eight runs during the game.
