2021 Marucci CAT9 Connect Hybrid USSSA Certified Bat (-8) 23 oz 31" (Used)

This 2021 Marucci CAT9 Connect Hybrid baseball bat is USSSA certified and designed specifically for kid pitch play, suitable for players aged 9 to 13. It features a 31-inch length with a -8 drop weight, providing a balanced swing for youth athletes progressing to more advanced bats. The bat’s hybrid construction combines a 2 3/4-inch alloy barrel with a composite handle, aiming to offer a balance of power and vibration reduction. The blue finish presents a straightforward and clean look. This bat is built to help young hitters enhance their swing speed and hitting power while minimizing hand sting on off-center hits thanks to its composite handle design. Its weight and drop make it manageable for players working on control and swing mechanics during league play. As a used bat, it remains a functional option for competitive youth players needing a USSSA-approved bat to support their development. The bat weighs 23 ounces, fitting the needs of players in the specified age group.

The Marucci CAT 9 Connect is designed for hitters who prefer an end-loaded feel and enhanced power. It features a multi-stage-treated AZR alloy barrel paired with a carbon composite handle, creating a large sweet spot. The stiffer connection reduces vibration and maximizes power, while the end-loaded swing weight helps generate bat speed for crushing pitches.

The CAT9 Connect is going to be in the same market as the Select Power, The Goods, and the Voodoo. It's a two-piece hybrid alloy barrel with a composite handle. It's a top-three bat for me. Very good performer and very popular. Just a great overall product.
