The New York Yankees began the 2025 season with an explosive offense, sweeping the Milwaukee Brewers in three games and connecting for a total of 15 home runs, a mark that ties the record for most homers in the first three games of a season in MLB history. That record was held by the 2006 Detroit Tigers.
The feat was sealed on Sunday, March 30 at Yankee Stadium, where the Yankees won 12-3. The star of the game was Aaron Judge, who hit his fourth home run in just three games. Judge becomes the first Yankees player to do so, consolidating a blistering start to the season. Next to him, Jazz Chisholm Jr. also stole the spotlight with two home runs in the same game. “I love my bat,” Chisholm said after the game. “I think it’s showing; it’s working pretty well for me,” he said when talking about the bat model he’s using.
The “torpedo bat” debate
One of the issues that has attracted the most attention is the use of “torpedo bats”, a legal innovation within the MLB rules, but which has generated divided opinions.
These bats, developed with the barrel closer to the hands, allow for better control and greater speed at the point of contact with the ball.

The model, manufactured by the company Axe Bat, is being tested by several players, and the Yankees are one of the teams that have adopted them the most at the beginning of the season.
However, the likes of Aaron Judge have preferred to stick with their traditional bat and have still shined, putting into perspective that the team’s success is not based solely on this innovation.
Exciting start
Buzzy
With this performance, the Yankees not only matched an all-time record, but sent a strong message to the American League:
They are ready to fight for the title again.
Recall that New York is coming off the crown of American League champion in 2024.
The first games of this new campaign indicate that the goal remains the same: the World Series.
Manager Aaron Boone highlighted the team’s collective work and preparation, without getting into controversy. “We used what is allowed and focused on doing our job,” he said.
