It's very cool but I expect their effect to be waning as they have a flaw in the fact that the end of the bat produces very weak contact. While you are unlikely to hit a ball very hard off the end of the bat with a traditional bat, many such hits do fall for soft singles in the outfield. This is unlikely with the new bat. You are more likely to hit a soft ground ball.

This tradeoff for more power in other plate appearances is reasonable but pitchers will adjust to this reality and throw more pitches on the outside edges of the plate trying to induce weak contact.

What we may continue to see is more extremes in hitting where players hit for a low average but more power, which is what the analysts love because hitting is hard and it is difficult for teams to string hits together to score runs.

@Undisciplined made a good point on the pod that as pitchers adjust to the hitters and hitters then adjust to the pitchers adjustment eventually we may see a plethora of different bat styles similar to the various clubs for different situations you would have in golf. So I may use a traditional bat against a certain pitcher in a certain situation but a torpedo bat in another situation and the next iteration of torpedo bat that seeks to address the flaws in this one and so on.

It's certainly fun to ponder and discuss. Not sure how much it ultimately adds to the game.
