2023 Marucci CAT X Bat (-8) Alloy 23 oz 31" (Used) Hybrid

This bat was used for one season (2024) for Club baseball and is like new except for some cosmetic blemishes – lots of seasons left in this bat. The ball really flies off of this bat – it is my sons favorite baseball bat and he now uses the same bat but in drop 5 for this season. Retails for $349 – get this tremendous bat for a fraction of the price. BARREL PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY: • Two-Piece Hybrid Construction: S-Series composite handle with AZR alloy barrel designed for power • AZR Aluminum Composition: Leverages a complex combination of thermal treatment processes to strengthen the alloy for a more responsive, forgiving feel • Ring-Free Barrel: Boasts more barrel flex and increased performance with no ''dead'' spots • Multi-Variable Wall Design: Creates an expanded sweet spot and thinner walls that are more forgiving after off-centered contact • New Profile: More evenly distributes the mass of the ring-free, multi-variable wall design across the entire barrel for a wider, more consistent sweet spot • Power Loaded Barrel: end-loaded, high M.O.I. barrel designed for effortless power HANDLE PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY: • OLS Connection: one-of-a-kind design connects the barrel to the handle from the outside in, creating the stiffest connection available, while dismissing virtually all vibrations on contact for the strongest, smoothest swing yet • S-25 Composite Handle: based on performance data and player feedback, the handle is 15% less stiff than the CATX Connect handle, offering more whip and transferring less vibration on contact • Liquid-Gel System: patented anti-vibration technology features the optimal amount of liquid-gel in the knob and endcap to reduce and absorb vibrations from both ends of the bat, creating a smooth, solid feel during contact

The Marucci CAT X Baseball Bat features both BBCOR and USSSA certifications and is a single-piece alloy bat with a well-sized barrel and excellent feel. Its multi-variable wall Ring-Free barrel provides consistent power across leagues, while the stiff S-40 composite handle offers a balanced swing weight and reduces vibration for improved comfort. The CAT X also features liquid-gel in the knob which reduces vibrations throughout the hands.

CATX came out in 2023. The first gen is a white ribbon silver bat. For the second run, Marucci came out with a version called the CATX Vanta. It's a blacked-out, limited-edition. Both gens are an alloy one-piece bat, both very strong performers. They took the alloy and strength from the CAT9 and applied the balance and feel from the CAT8 to develop the CATX.
