In the middle of a record-setting afternoon for the Yankees, the tweaked bat design that helped contribute to their nine home runs spent some time in the spotlight, too.

Shortstop Anthony Volpe and second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. are two players using a design where the barrel is placed in a nontraditional spot on the bat, according to YES Network, and both players homered during the Yankees’ 20-9 rout of the Brewers on Saturday — with Volpe even launching his just a few pitches after the segment.

The Yankees’ adjustment is legal, The Post confirmed. It doesn’t violate Rule 3.02 of the league’s handbook, which states that bats can’t be more than 2.61 inches in diameter and 42 inches in length.

“The Yankee front office, the analytics department, did a study on Anthony Volpe, and every single ball it seemed like he hit on the label,” YES play-by-play announcer Michael Kay said. “He didn’t hit any on the barrel, so they had bats made up where they moved a lot of the wood into the label, so the harder part of the bat is going to actually strike the ball.”

It’s unclear when exactly Volpe and Chisholm made the switch to those bats, and which other Yankees have embraced the innovative thinking.

Kevin Smith, a former minor leaguer in the Yankees organization, attributed the design to former Yankees analyst, and current Marlins field coordinator, Aaron Leanhardt and called it the “Torpedo” barrel in a series of social media posts Saturday when buzz around the bat design erupted following the broadcast segment.

“It brings more wood — and mass — to where you most often make contact as a hitter,” Smith wrote on X. “The idea is to increase the number of ‘barrels’ and decrease misses.”

Volpe launched his second homer in as many games this season over the left field wall in the second inning to add three runs to the Yankees’ lead, and Chisholm went back-to-back with Aaron Judge the next inning.

Judge smacked three homers, while Austin Wells, Oswald Peraza, Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt also added blasts.

“[Leanhardt] would say ‘5-10 years from now this is all anyone will be using,’ ” Smith wrote on X. “Either way, it was cool to work with a genius like Lenny who wanted to help players in any way possible. I hope he’s smiling watching the Yanks hit 9 homers knowing his bats are the talk of the town.”

For at least Volpe and Chisholm, though, perhaps some of that offensive burst could be attributed to the Yankees’ design.
