Below is a full list of the known players using torpedo bats this season:
- Adley Rutschman, C, Baltimore Orioles
- Dansby Swanson, SS, Chicago Cubs
- Nico Hoerner, 2B, Chicago Cubs
- Ryan Jeffers, C, Minnesota Twins

While the Yankees' usage were known, a number of players on other teams have used torpedo bats in 2025. Orioles catcher Adley Rutcshman is a
confirmed torpedo bat user. Both Blue Jays outfielder Davis Schneider and Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers were
photographed using
torpedo bats during the first three games of the season. Rays young standout Junior Caminero also
used a torpedo bat early this season. The Cubs were among the teams to tinker with torpedo bats last season, Bellinger revealed, and it appears both Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner are among the Cubs hitters
using the torpedo bats in 2025.
The list is unlikely to stop there. Schneider's teammate, Ernie Clement already said he might experiment with using a torpedo bat during games. San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado seemed interested in getting a shipment of the bats sent to the Padres. Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins confirmed he
already ordered a shipment and was waiting for them to arrive.
