The diameter of the bat isn't changing. It's limited by rule to 2.61 inches. But instead of that girth extending all the way to the end of the bat, the distance end is made narrower and the middle of the bat made fatter (within the 2.61").
The result is less weight at the end of the bat which should increase bat speed. And more wood a the handle end, which works for inside pitch hitters.
Only certain types of hitters will benefit. If you are regularly behind pitches, you might get some help with better bat speed. These are infinitesimal changes that 'maybe' only affect the highest level and almost certainly won't help lower level players.
There should be obvious appeal here for anybody that drills their door handles while eating donuts for breakfast.
