Marucci CAT9 Connect Bat 2021, 31/23 Drop 8 USSSA

This 2-piece allow/comp hybrid CAT9 Connect is a great performing USSSA bat at a great price! Awesome feel, huge barrel, huge sweet spot, slightly end-loaded for more exit velo. Extremely durable. Bought in summer of 2021 for 13U travel ball and used for a few months (we then switched to a drop 5). Barrel surface and knob definitely have some smudges and scratches, and could use new grip, but overall good condition. Being sold by my 14U player to raise money to attend a big PG showcase event next month. Your purchase will help him reach his goal! Original price at time of purchase: $300 Barrel size: 2-3/4” Length: 31” Weight: 23 oz

The Marucci CAT 9 Connect is designed for hitters who prefer an end-loaded feel and enhanced power. It features a multi-stage-treated AZR alloy barrel paired with a carbon composite handle, creating a large sweet spot. The stiffer connection reduces vibration and maximizes power, while the end-loaded swing weight helps generate bat speed for crushing pitches.

The CAT9 Connect is going to be in the same market as the Select Power, The Goods, and the Voodoo. It's a two-piece hybrid alloy barrel with a composite handle. It's a top-three bat for me. Very good performer and very popular. Just a great overall product.
