2021 Marucci CAT9 Composite USSSA Certified Bat (-8) 21 oz 29" (New)

This is a 2021 Marucci CAT9 Composite USSSA certified bat designed for youth baseball. Its composite construction enhances barrel flex for a larger sweet spot and more consistent power. With a 29-inch length and a -8 drop weight (21 oz), it offers a balanced feel that supports both bat speed and control. The 2 3/4-inch barrel size fits USSSA standards for kid pitch play. Condition is new. This bat is suitable for players aged 9 to 13 competing in USSSA leagues. The -8 drop allows younger hitters to generate sufficient bat speed without sacrificing power, making it a solid choice for developing hitters who are refining their swing mechanics. The composite build also helps reduce vibration on mishits, improving comfort over extended use.

The Marucci CAT 9 Composite bat is a two-piece composite bat found in USSSA, USA, and BBCOR. Unlike its alloy counterparts within the CAT series, the CAT 9 Composite provides a massive barrel and balanced swing. The connection piece helps absorb mishit balls’ sting and is identical to the one used on the BBCOR CAT 8 Connect.

“

The CAT9 Composite comes in two designs across two generations. The first, released in 2021, is gray, black, and red. And then it came out in red, white, blue, and gray. The first model was a more powerful, higher-performing bat. It has more exit velocity and is a hotter bat than the 2nd gen. Very durable, with very little breakage. Marucci's, across the board, have been good bats in terms of quality; they seem to last. Whether you're a power hitter or a small kid, the CAT9 Composite does very well.
