After all the talk earlier in the season, what happened to the torpedo bats? Is everyone using them now? No one using them? Pitchers adjusted so there’s no advantage? There was no advantage to begin with? Just curious.

DAY 281 (894/394) on THE ROAD TO THE 2026 6TH WBSC-MLB WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC - Towards the WBSC U18 Worlds

In just days from now, the WBSC 18U Worlds will soon begin, the highest and most prestigeous of all the international youth events the WBSC has organized.

With many of the sport's 18-yearers preparing to play with all their heart for country and people just days after the conclusion of the LLWS, this storied event marks the pinnacle of the international youth season and will be one big event not to be missed.

This young event, over the years, has seen future pro league stars end their youth careers before moving on to bigger things ahead, and this year will see another batch of these players take the field in their national team uniforms, eager to apply all that they have played for in their younger years.

Let us support this event and the boys who will in just a few days ready to play and give all their best.

For Glory

John
