First, a conclusion has been reached after ONE game?
Then,

Using a strikingly different model in which wood is moved lower down the barrel after the label and shapes the end a little like a bowling pin, Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, Austin Wells, Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered in New York's 20-9 rout of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Notice a name missing? Yeah Aaron Judge, who doesn't use a torpedo bat, and he hit 3 homeruns. But, that gets only a casual mention much later in the piece.
I think this is much ado about nothing. These histrionics after TWO games of a 162 game season? Stupid.
