The New York Yankees have hit 22 home runs in their first six games.

The Yankees hit nine home runs last Saturday in their 20-9 win over the Milwaukee Brewers .

Torpedo bats were designed by Aaron Leanhardt , a former Yankees coach who holds a PhD in physics from MIT .

A torpedo bat sells for around $200 .

David Sandlin and Connelly Early say they haven't faced a hitter swinging a torpedo bat yet.

Neither is concerned about giving up more home runs to hitters who use one.

One Sea Dogs player who doesn't expect to make the switch to torpedo bats is shortstop Mikey Romero .

Romero hit six home runs in 16 games after being promoted to Portland last season .
