Utilizing a three-stage thermal treatment process, our new AZR alloy offers a more responsive microstructure for better feel, more forgiveness and more performance while maintaining the same strength as its predecessor One-of-a-kind, OLS, Outer-Locking System, attaches the barrel to the handle from the outside in, creating the stiffest connection available, while dismissing virtually all vibrations on contact for the strongest, smoothest swing yet Using a Longitudinal Groove System, LGS, across the thickest section of the barrel wall allows for excess weight reduction while also increasing flexibility for an increased performance zone (BBCOR ONLY) Multi-variable wall design creates an expanded sweet spot and thinner barrel walls that are more forgiving after off-centered contact Ring-free barrel construction allows for more barrel flex and increases performance with no "dead" spots Power-loaded barrel results in a higher M.O.I. and end-loaded feel for effortless power Two-piece hybrid design combines a carbon composite handle with the AZR alloy barrel designed for power Professionally inspired handle features a removable taper and an ergonomic knob shape for more top-hand control and comfort (BBCOR/-5 only) Micro-perforated soft-touch grip with extra tack improves feel and control

The Marucci CAT 9 Composite bat is a two-piece composite bat found in USSSA, USA, and BBCOR. Unlike its alloy counterparts within the CAT series, the CAT 9 Composite provides a massive barrel and balanced swing. The connection piece helps absorb mishit balls’ sting and is identical to the one used on the BBCOR CAT 8 Connect.

The CAT9 Composite comes in two designs across two generations. The first, released in 2021, is gray, black, and red. And then it came out in red, white, blue, and gray. The first model was a more powerful, higher-performing bat. It has more exit velocity and is a hotter bat than the 2nd gen. Very durable, with very little breakage. Marucci's, across the board, have been good bats in terms of quality; they seem to last. Whether you're a power hitter or a small kid, the CAT9 Composite does very well.
