Hot Bat with Great Pop. The CAT 8 has a more gradual taper giving it more surface area. The CAT 8 is just a tad bit heavier feeling than the CAT 7, but you would have to really be trying to notice the difference to tell. We Love the barrel! As far as size and taper, it fits between the old green Hex bat and the CAT 7. The sweet spot is insane! Really big sweet spot. Ball speed feels about the same as the CAT 7, but with a larger sweet spot. The bat looks good and should be durable.
Take your game to the next level with the new and improved Marucci bat lineup.
Bat Benefits
The CAT 8 USSSA Baseball Bat features a maximized barrel length that provides a wider sweet spot thanks to its longer surface area. One of the main differences from the CAT 7 is the new and improved AZ105 Alloy, the strongest aluminum on the Marucci bat line, which allows for thinner barrel walls, a higher response rate, and better durability. This Marucci bat's one-piece alloy design blends year-round durability with a traditional feel, and its ring-free barrel construction eliminates dead spots while improving flex. Its precision-balanced barrel provides a lower M.O.I. and a balanced feel that makes it easy for any style of hitter to enjoy their personal best results. New to the lineup is the 2nd Generation AV2 Anti-Vibration Knob that features an upgraded, harmonic dampening system for a better feel and less negative vibrational feedback Marucci Sports: Honor the Game.
This Marucci CAT 8 USSSA Big Barrel Bat features a -10 length to weight ratio, a 2 3/4 inch barrel, and the USSSA 1.15 BPF certification. The sting-free comfort knob is ergonomically-molded nylon engineered for comfort and control, complemented by a micro-perforated soft-touch grip whose extra tack makes for a no-slip hold. Every element of the CAT 8 craftsmanship comes together to earn a sterling reputation: these Marucci bats provide simply the best look and feel with the most "pop" off the bat and the least vibrational feedback, making an ideal fit for any age and strength of hitter.
