2022 Marucci CAT Connect Hybrid USABat Certified Bat (-11) 17 oz 28" (Used)

The 2022 Marucci CAT Connect Hybrid is a USABat certified youth baseball bat designed with a -11 drop weight length ratio—28 inches long and weighing 17 ounces. Its 2 5/8-inch barrel combines a composite handle with an alloy barrel, offering a balance of lightweight swing speed and solid contact. This hybrid construction helps reduce vibration on mishits while maintaining consistent pop, making it suitable for travel and competitive leagues that require USABat approval. This bat fits players transitioning from aluminum to composite who want both durability and performance. The -11 drop is typical for players aged 10-12 who need an easy-to-control bat that allows quicker swings without sacrificing power. It’s best suited for hitters who are developing their mechanics and prefer a bat that encourages consistent contact and smooth swing control. The bat is used but fully functional for ongoing youth play.
