2023 Marucci CATX Alloy USSSA Certified Bat (-10) 19 oz 29" (Used)

The 2023 Marucci CATX Alloy is a USSSA-certified youth baseball bat designed for the kid pitch age group (9-13 years). Its alloy construction offers a sturdy, responsive feel with a standard 2 3/4" barrel diameter that balances pop and control. The bat measures 29" in length and has a -10 drop weight ratio, making it a good fit for young players who need a manageable swing speed without sacrificing power. This model is built for durability and consistent performance on kid pitch diamonds. The bat is used and in functional condition. This bat suits intermediate youth players developing their swing mechanics and looking for a bat that meets USSSA standards for competitive play. The -10 drop encourages faster swing speeds for quicker barrel acceleration, ideal for hitters aiming to generate solid contact without overly heavy equipment. The 29" length fits most players in the 9-13 age range, supporting gradual progression toward adult-sized bats.

The Marucci CAT X Baseball Bat features both BBCOR and USSSA certifications and is a single-piece alloy bat with a well-sized barrel and excellent feel. Its multi-variable wall Ring-Free barrel provides consistent power across leagues, while the stiff S-40 composite handle offers a balanced swing weight and reduces vibration for improved comfort. The CAT X also features liquid-gel in the knob which reduces vibrations throughout the hands.

CATX came out in 2023. The first gen is a white ribbon silver bat. For the second run, Marucci came out with a version called the CATX Vanta. It's a blacked-out, limited-edition. Both gens are an alloy one-piece bat, both very strong performers. They took the alloy and strength from the CAT9 and applied the balance and feel from the CAT8 to develop the CATX.
