From manufacturer website: Marucci CAT 9 Pastime BBCOR Baseball Bat: MCBC9A Use a bat designed to celebrate America's Greatest Game when you grab this Cat 9 Pastime BBCOR bat. No matter the season; the opposing defenders will see this red, white and blue bat make its way to home plate and cautiously take a few steps back! Bat Benefits Marucci threw in everything but the kitchen sink when they crafted the alloy material on this one-piece, BBCOR bat. The AZR alloy underwent a 3-stage thermal treatment process that allows the bat to have more forgiveness and more performance. And Marucci stayed relentless even after that initial design. They added a Longitudinal Groove System (LGS) that goes through the thickest part of the barrel wall. Marucci's LGS removes excess weight from the barrel wall of the bat and should increase the area of the bat where you can make contact with the ball and see top results. High school & college players will love this bat as it should feature a mostly balanced swing feel that will deliver benefits for both power hitters and contact hitters. Some batters might feel the tiniest bit of load in the barrel, but most everyone should be able to whip it through the zone with crazy bat speed!

The Marucci CAT 9 features a single piece of aluminum with multivariable wall thickness, extending the sweet spot and reducing swing weight. The CAT9 features a Ring-free barrel which allows for more flex within the barrel and minimizes dead spots through the bat. This model includes new technologies like the AV2 knob to dampen sting on mishits and is available in BBCOR, USSSA, and USA versions.

“

My son really likes the CAT9. He likes the weight distribution and how it feels when he catches it clean with his “A” swing. He also feels like there’s a margin for error on his “B/C” swings. It’s his first BBCOR, which has helped make the transition to the big field manageable.
