2023 Marucci CAT X Connect USA USABat Certified Bat (-11) 26 oz 31" (Used)

My son only used it in a few Spring games and has moved up to a drop 8. No cracks or rattles, end cap is solid. This 2023 Marucci CATX Connect Hybrid bat is USABat certified and designed for kid pitch players aged 9 to 13. It is 31 inches long, weighs 26 ounces, and has a -11 drop, which offers a balance between swing speed and power. The bat features a 2 5/8-inch barrel and is built with hybrid materials, providing a responsive feel for its size and weight. It was only used in a few 10U spring games before my son moved on to a drop 8 bat, so it’s still in good condition. Made in the United States, this black and gray bat is suitable for youth leagues that require USABat certification and is intended to help players develop consistent hitting mechanics and control.

The Marucci CAT X Connect Baseball Bat, available in BBCOR and USSSA versions, features a two-piece hybrid design with an AZR alloy barrel and a stiff S-40 composite handle. Its Ring-Free barrel offers a large sweet spot for consistent power, while the 10 times stiffer S-40 handle ensures faster energy transfer and minimizes vibration. This design enhances performance and increases the chance of home runs.

The CATX Connect is a hybrid bat. It's a strong performer. It's top five in the hybrid market. Very easy to swing, very well balanced. There's a good nature to it; it doesn't dent. It's very durable. But it is an end-loaded bat and a two-piece hybrid, so it's more designed for the power hitter and for stronger players.
