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

Cat 9 Connect in good condition. Hybrid bat that is built to last a long time. Used for one season. A hybrid bat combines two different materials to maximize performance and comfort. Specifically, the CAT 9 Connect features: -An Aluminum Barrel: Made of thermal-treated AZR alloy for a massive sweet spot and hot-out-of-the-wrapper performance. -A Carbon Composite Handle: Provides a comfortable grip and helps absorb the negative shock when you hit the ball off-center. This combination provides several distinct advantages for power hitters: -Zero Sting: The composite handle absorbs hand vibration so you don't feel "bat sting" on mishits. -Stiff Energy Transfer: The bat uses an Outer-Locking System (OLS) connection. This connects the handle and barrel from the outside-in, creating an incredibly stiff feel that maximizes energy transfer into the ball. -End-Loaded Power: The Connect model is end-loaded (meaning the weight is concentrated toward the end of the barrel), which gives stronger hitters a heavy swing weight to turn gap power into over-the-fence power.
