Used drop5 Marucci Cat8 Connect, 31/26
No dents, cracks nor barrel rattles. This is a solid bat, which only saw game and practices with live pitching as son used wood bats for machine pitch sessions.
Power hitters love the end-loaded feel and ultra-responsive barrel of the CAT8 Connect -5, a USSSA certified two-piece hybrid bat featuring a power-loaded barrel built with AZ105 super-strength aluminum alloy. The patent-pending SDX EXT connection increases stiffness to maintain energy transfer to the ball, while also dismissing negative vibrations to the hands, resulting in maximum power and minimum sting.
AZ105 alloy, the strongest aluminum in the Marucci bat line, allows for thinner barrel walls, a higher response rate and better durability
Multi-variable wall design creates an expanded sweet spot and thinner barrel walls that are more forgiving after off-centered contact
SDX EXT, Extended Shock Dissipating Connection, increases stiffness to maintain energy transfer to the ball, while also dismissing all harsh, unwanted vibrations from players’ hands
Ring-free barrel construction allows for more barrel flex and increases performance with no “dead” spots
Power-loaded barrel results in a higher M.O.I. and end-loaded feel for effortless power
Two-piece hybrid design combines a carbon composite handle with the AZ105 alloy barrel for maximum power
Professionally inspired handle features a removable taper and an ergonomic knob shape for more top-hand control and comfort
Micro-perforated soft-touch Lizard-Skin grip improves feel and control
2 3/4” barrel diameter
USSSA 1.15 BPF certified

The CAT8 is an older model from 2019 and a good BBCOR and USSSA bat. Very good performing bat with a sound that players love. Lightweight and easy to swing. It's probably one of the best sellers, and since the CAT8 is still available, it's perhaps one of the better bang for the buck. Prices dropped for this older model. So, it is a good match for an entry-level player on a tight budget.
