Marucci Cat9 USSSA Aluminum Bat

The Marucci CAT9 Alloy is a USSSA-certified youth baseball bat designed for players aged 9 to 13 in the kid pitch age group. Featuring a -10 drop, this alloy bat balances a lightweight feel with solid durability, allowing for faster swing speeds and better control through the strike zone. Its construction is tailored to deliver consistent performance while meeting league standards for competitive play. This 2021 model is used but remains a reliable option for youth players refining their hitting mechanics. This bat is well-suited for developing hitters who need a manageable swing weight to generate bat speed without sacrificing power. The -10 drop makes it ideal for players transitioning from tee ball or coach pitch to kid pitch leagues, providing a balance of control and pop. If you’re looking for a league-legal alloy bat that supports skill growth in this age bracket, the CAT9 offers a straightforward, dependable performance.

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.
