2023 Marucci CATX Alloy USSSA Certified Bat (-5) 26 oz 31" (Used)

The Marucci CATX Alloy bat is a 2023 USSSA certified model featuring a 31-inch length and a 26-ounce weight, resulting in a -5 drop. Its 2 3/4-inch barrel is made from alloy, designed to deliver consistent performance with a solid feel on contact. This bat is built in the USA and complies with USSSA standards, making it suitable for competitive youth leagues. This model fits players in the Kid Pitch age group (typically 9 to 13 years old) who are looking for a balanced swing weight that allows for better control and quicker bat speed. The -5 drop weight-to-length ratio supports developing hitters who want a combination of power and swing efficiency. Suitable for youth players moving towards more advanced play while maintaining league compliance.

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.
