2023 Marucci CATX Connect Hybrid BBCOR Certified Bat (-3) 29 oz 32" (Used)

The 2023 Marucci CATX Connect Hybrid is a BBCOR-certified bat designed for high school and college competition. It combines a 2 5/8" barrel with a hybrid construction that balances a stiff alloy handle and composite barrel. This setup aims to provide a responsive feel with controlled performance and consistent pop. The bat has a -3 drop weight specification at 32" and weighs 29 oz, matching the standard for mature hitters seeking regulation compliance. The white finish is clean and understated. This particular model is used but remains fully functional. This bat is suitable for advanced players who need a precise, reliable option for game situations where BBCOR certification is mandatory. The hybrid design supports a blend of power and control, making it a good fit for hitters with medium to fast swing speeds looking to maximize contact quality without sacrificing durability. Its size and weight profile align with players transitioning from youth bats to full-size wood or composite models.

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.
