CAT9-3 BBCOR Metal Baseball Bat, 2 5/8" Barrel

Engineered for excellence, the Marucci CAT9 aluminum bat boasts a new, thermally treated AZR alloy, offering a more responsive and forgiving feel. Its massive sweet spot is ready to perform right out of the box. The bat's three-stage thermal treatment process enhances the alloy's microstructure, providing better feel, increased forgiveness, and improved performance without compromising strength. Marucci's Longitudinal Groove System (LGS) reduces weight and boosts flexibility, expanding the bat's performance zone. The CAT9 features a standard 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter, a -3 length to weight ratio, and a balanced swing. It's BBCOR certified and backed by a full twelve-month manufacturer's warranty. Key features include a -3 length to weight ratio, 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter, balanced swing weight, 2nd Generation AV2 Anti-Vibration knob, ring-free barrel construction, precision-balanced barrel, one-piece alloy construction, professionally inspired handle, micro-perforated soft-touch grip, and BBCOR certification for high school and collegiate levels. It's legal for play in intermediate (50-70) and junior league divisions of Little League. Explore our blog to learn about the differences between the Marucci CAT8 and CAT9 bats.
