“Under Fire: MLB Commissioner Manfred Champions Controversial ‘Torpedo Bats’ and Predicts Robot Umpires by 2026—What This Means for the Future of the Game!”
“They’re absolutely good for baseball,” Manfred said in a Q&A published by The New York Times on Sunday. “I believe that issues like the torpedo bat and the debate around it demonstrate the fact that baseball still occupies a unique place in our culture, because people get into a complete frenzy over something that’s really nothing at the end of the day.”
The interview covered multiple topics and included Manfred praising the testing of robot umpires during spring training. He said he’d like to see their use expanded to the regular season soon.
