Bat is in like new condition minus cosmetic scratches. Purchased for last season but swing weight was not ideal for my son. Used a handful of times in practice and by little league teammate during a few games.
JustBats Description:
The Marucci CATX2 Connect -8 USA Baseball Bat features a 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter and a drop 8 length to weight ratio, providing an end-loaded swing feel that delivers maximum power with every hit. This two-piece, hybrid bat combines an alloy barrel with a composite handle, making it both durable and flexible. With the USA Baseball certified stamp, this bat is approved for play in AABC, Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken, Dixie Youth, Little League, and Pony leagues, ensuring broad usability across various competitions.
Constructed from AZR Alloy, the CATX2 Connect -8 undergoes a 3-stage thermal treatment process, resulting in a more responsive microstructure. This advanced treatment enhances the feel, increases forgiveness, and boosts performance, all while maintaining the strength of the material. The multi-variable wall design creates an expanded sweet spot and thinner barrel walls, providing more forgiving contact even on off-centered hits. The ring-free barrel construction allows for additional barrel flex and increased performance without any "dead" spots, ensuring consistent hitting.
The custom-molded handle taper is ergonomically designed to fit each weight drop, offering a better grip, more bat control, and a superior overall feel. This handle can be easily removed to match the athlete's preferences. The micro-perforated soft-touch grip provides the needed tack on the handle, ensuring excellent control and comfort during play.
One of the standout features of the CATX2 Connect -8 USA is its updated internal wall design, giving players a wider usable barrel area and an increased sweet spot. This bat is engineered to give young athletes an edge with every swing. Additionally, it comes with a full twelve (12) month manufacturer's warranty, ensuring reliable and high-performing use throughout the season.
In sleek silver, white, and red, the Marucci CATX2 Connect -8 USA Baseball Bat is not only a high performer but also a stylish addition to any player’s arsenal.
