NEW YORK — New torpedo bats drew attention when the Yankees hit a team-record nine homers that traveled a combined 3,695 feet on Saturday.

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 the Yankees’ 20-9 rout of the Brewers.

The Yankees hit four more homers in a 12-3 win Sunday and their 15 homers through the first three games matched the 2006 Tigers for the most in major league history.

“That’s just trying to be the best we can be,” manager Aaron Boone said Sunday. “That’s one of the things that’s gotten pointed out. I say to you guys all the time, we’re trying to win on the margins and that shows up in so many different ways.”

MLB has relatively uncomplicated bat rules, stating under 3.02: “The bat shall be a smooth, round stick not more than 2.61 inches in diameter at the thickest part and not more than 42 inches in length. The bat shall be one piece of solid wood.” It goes on to state there may be a cupped indentation up to 1 1/4 inches in depth, 2 inches wide and with at least a 1-inch diameter, and experimental models must be approved by MLB.

Ex-Yankees infielder Kevin Smith posted online Saturday that Aaron Leanhardt, a former Yankees front-office staffer who now works for the Marlins, developed the torpedo barrel to bring more mass to a bat’s sweet spot.

“You’re going up with a weapon that can be better,” Smith wrote. “Your just misses could be clips, your clips could be flares, and your flares could (be) barrels. And it was true, it’s fractions of an inch on the barrel differentiating these outcomes.”

Goldschmidt, batting leadoff for the first time, opened with a 413-foot homer off Nestor Cortes and Bellinger followed with a 451-foot drive that initially didn’t register with Statcast. Aaron Judge, using a bat with a conventional shape, hit a 468-foot shot that made the Yankees the first team to homer on each of a game’s first three pitches since MLB’s records began in 1988.

Bellinger first was presented with the torpedo-shape concept in a batting practice session last season with the Cubs but did not use it in a game. He was given a more advanced version during spring training this year.

Chisholm homered twice Sunday. He said he started using the torpedo bat after hitting a double and a homer in spring training with Volpe’s bat.

“I love my bat,” Chisholm said with a slight laugh. “I think you can tell. It doesn’t feel like a different bat. It just helps you in a real way I guess.”

Judge, who hit an AL-record 62 homers in 2022 and 58 last year en route to his second AL MVP award, didn’t see a reason to experiment.

“The past couple of seasons kind of speak for itself,” Judge said a day after his third career three-homer game. “Why try to change something?”

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said he knows a little about developing and bat designs from serving on the boards of two bat companies.

“Players are doing everything to try to get an edge today legally and I think they should,” Murphy said. “I think whatever is good for the offensive game is good for the game.”
