2024 Marucci CATX Alloy USABat Certified Bat (-11) 17 oz 28" (Used)

The 2024 Marucci CATX Alloy is a USABat certified bat built with a 2 5/8" barrel designed for balanced swing control and consistent contact. Its alloy construction offers durability while maintaining a solid feel, and the -11 drop weight (28" length, 17 oz) supports quick bat speed with enough mass to generate power. The gray finish is standard for this model and the certification means it's approved for travel and sanctioned youth baseball leagues. This bat is best suited for players transitioning to larger bats who need a reliable, game-ready alloy model. The 28" length and -11 drop provide a good fit for youth athletes roughly 10 to 12 years old who have outgrown smaller bats but require a manageable swing weight for developing bat control. Ideal for competitive play where USABat certification is required.

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.
