Marucci’s CAT lineup provides the highest quality certified metal available. The CAT Connect is a two-piece design that combines an AZ105 alloy barrel, the strongest aluminum in the Marucci bat line, with a carbon composite handle for power and durability.

AZ105 alloy, the strongest aluminum on the Marucci bat line, allows for thinner barrel walls, a higher response rate and better durability
Multi-variable wall design creates an expanded sweet spot and thinner barrel walls that are more forgiving after off-centered contact
Upgraded SDX LT connection utilizes a precision cut dampening layer directly molded between the barrel and handle to dismiss vibration, while decreasing the weight
Ring-free barrel construction allows for more barrel flex and increases performance with no “dead” spots
Two-piece hybrid design combines a carbon composite handle with the AZ105 alloy barrel designed for power
Black, 1.75mm micro-perforated soft-touch grip with extra tack improves feel and control
One-year warranty

Adding our Heat Roll with Progressive Pressure to your order may cause decertification, check with the governing body of your league for clarification

Effective January 1, 2018, amateur baseball’s governing body will enforce a wood-like performance standard for all of their participating national member organizations: American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC), Babe Ruth Baseball / Cal Ripken Baseball, Dixie Youth Baseball, Little League Baseball, and Pony Baseball. In addition, the use of 2-5/8″ big barrel bats will be permitted at all levels. Approved bats receive a new stamp above the grip.

Manufacturing tolerances, performance considerations, and grip weight may cause variations from the listed weight/Mass Index.

QUESTION: Should I order this bat with Free Shipping or Upgraded Shipping?
ANSWER: It just depends on how quickly you need it. This ROLLED & READY Bat is ready to ship and will generally ship same day if ordered before 1PM EST. Our free shipping method is just the cheapest method available to your address, which is usually a 2-6 day transit time but is NOT guaranteed. The upgrade options specify their transit times. UPS 2 Day Air and/or UPS Next Day Air are popular options for customers needing a bat quickly.

QUESTION: Why is this bat priced higher than retail?
ANSWER: After being disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the bat supply chain still isn’t back to 100% normal. Many popular bats (in their most popular sizes) are next to impossible to get – as a result, we’re willing to pay higher than retail prices for them in the secondary market so that we’re able to make them available to our customers. Many customers value performance and convenience over price, so our “Rolled & Ready” inventory is purchased with this in mind.
