New Marucci Cat 9 Connect America USSSA Certified (-10) 18 oz 28" Baseball Bat

SKU40053-181 This hybrid bat will have a two-piece design. The barrel will be built of aluminum material and the handle is going to be constructed from composite. Due to this design, it will feel considerably heavy in the barrel & it will be a bat that we recommend for power hitters. Marucci dedicated tons of time and resources to building the barrel of this bat. They have their special AZR alloy that went through 3 stages of heat treatment. The result of that labor is a barrel that is more responsive and also provides more forgiveness. And Marucci didn’t quit there. The engineers also developed a Longitudinal Groove System (LGS) that takes excess weight out of the thickest portion of the bat’s barrel. The LGS should also allow for increased flexibility and better performance across the bat’s barrel. The folks at Marucci also got advanced in regard to the connection piece that is used on this bat. They have introduced the Outer-Locking System that attaches the barrel and handle from the outside in. This connector piece should create one of the stiffest feels that you’ll find on a two-piece bat while also mitigating the vibration that gets down to a player’s hands on a miss-hit C&S SPORTING GOODS 7822 N 12th Street Phoenix Az 85020 (12th Street and Northern) STORE HOURS ~MONDAY- FRIDAY 10am to 6:30pm, SATURDAYS 10am to 6pm and SUNDAYS 11am to 4pm View our full inventory on our website BUY-SELL-TRADE Family owned and operated local business

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.
