Marucci cat x -5 33 inch

The Marucci CATX Alloy is a 2023 USSSA-certified bat designed with a 2 3/4" barrel and a -5 drop, balancing weight and length to provide a solid swing zone. Built from durable alloy material in a white finish, this bat emphasizes consistency and pop across the barrel, making it suited for contact hitters looking for reliable performance at the plate. This used bat is made in the USA and meets USSSA standards for youth baseball play. Ideal for players aged 9 to 13 in the kid pitch division, the -5 drop allows a manageable bat weight that supports bat control and quicker swing speeds. This model works well for developing hitters who want a lightweight yet sturdy bat to generate bat speed without sacrificing durability, fitting players progressing beyond tee-ball into competitive youth leagues.

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.
