2021 Marucci CAT9 Connect Hybrid USSSA Certified Bat (-5) 26 oz 31" (Used)

This is a 2021 Marucci CAT9 Connect Hybrid bat, USSSA certified for competitive play. It features a 31-inch length and a 26-ounce weight, resulting in a -5 drop that balances swing speed and power potential. The hybrid design combines a composite handle with an alloy barrel, offering a blend of durability and a responsive feel. The 2 3/4" barrel diameter is standard for youth bat regulations and suitable for contact and gap power hitting. This bat is used but remains functional for game play. Designed for kid-pitch players aged 9 to 13, the -5 drop is ideal for developing hitters who need a manageable swing weight without sacrificing length. The combination of hybrid materials provides a balanced performance for players progressing into more serious competition and seeking a bat that supports faster swing speeds and solid contact.
