Technology
The 2022 Marucci Cat 9 Connect Composite Pastime BBCOR baseball bat features a MDX, multi-directional composite barrel. This barrel is built with multi-directionally patterned layers designed to create an ultra-responsive barrel. The final result is a mid-balanced barrel with a medium MOI between an end-loaded and balanced feel easily used by all players for maximum performance
A unique ring-free barrel construction allows for more barrel flex and increases performance with no “dead” spots. Also, the barrel is power-loaded for higher MOI and an end-loaded feel to help you produce more power with less effort. Marucci’s multivariable wall design creates an expanded sweet spot and thinner barrel walls that are more forgiving on off-center contact. The maximum barrel length offers a longer surface area with a wider sweet spot for increased performance on every hit.
Marucci then uses their one-of-a-kind Outer-Locking System to combine the barrel with the composite handle from the outside-in. This system creates the stiffest connection possible and eliminates vibrations in the hand at impact for a smooth, great-feeling swing every time.
The shape of the handle on this Cat 9 baseball bat is inspired by professional bats. An ergonomic knob shape allows for more control with the top hand and comfort on the bottom. The sting-free comfort knob is nylon molded with an ergonomic design to improve comfort and increase control.
