2021 Marucci CAT 9 USSSA 30/22 (-8) Alloy Baseball Bat 2 3/4” Barrel

Bought this bat new on January 23, 2022. My son used it in a few tournaments this past spring. He has now moved onto a bigger bat. As seen in the pictures, it has a number scratches and paint chips from a field that used gravel in the backstop and dugout areas. Some of the scratches and chips are noticeably through the paint layer but there is nothing wrong with the bat performance-wise. Bat is barely six months old and has tons of pop! CAT9 SENIOR LEAGUE -8 Crafted excellence. Designed with a thermally treated AZR alloy for a more responsive and forgiving feel, the balanced one-piece CAT9 features a massive sweet spot that is ready to do damage right out of the wrapper. Utilizing a three-stage thermal treatment process, our new AZR alloy offers a more responsive microstructure for better feel, more forgiveness and more performance while maintaining the same strength as its predecessor Multi-variable wall design creates an expanded sweet spot and thinner barrel walls that are more forgiving after off-centered contact 2nd generation AV2 Anti-Vibration Knob features an upgraded, finely tuned harmonic dampening system for better feel and less negative vibrational feedback Ring-free barrel construction allows for more barrel flex and increases performance with no “dead” spots Precision-balanced barrel results in a lower M.O.I. and balanced feel for precision and control One-piece alloy construction provides a clean, consistent, traditional swing Micro-perforated soft-touch grip with extra tack improves feel and control The CAT9 comes standard with a black 1.75mm grip Grip weight and manufacturing tolerances may cause slight deviation from the listed weight 2 3/4” barrel USSSA 1.15 BPF certified
