Purchased used prior to recent 13U fall season, but only swung in testing / selection process. My son ended up using the same bat in 31".So, we're selling this one.
It had plenty of pop in batting cage. No rattles. This bat is hand loaded and swings almost as light as the new Icons. I highly recommend. No need to spend $400 on the latest models IMHO. My son plays on a AAA select team and this bat performs as well as his teammates swinging new Hype Fires, etc.
Perfect bat for:
Players who see a lot of games, high pitch speeds, and who don’t mind a barrel-heavy bat.
Pop
Durability
Vibration
The Marucci CAT 9 Composite bat is a two-piece composite bat found in USSSA, USA, and BBCOR. Unlike its alloy counterparts within the CAT series, the CAT 9 Composite provides a massive barrel and balanced swing. The connection piece helps absorb mishit balls’ sting and is identical to the one used on the BBCOR CAT 8 Connect.
“
The CAT9 Composite comes in two designs across two generations. The first, released in 2021, is gray, black, and red. And then it came out in red, white, blue, and gray. The first model was a more powerful, higher-performing bat. It has more exit velocity and is a hotter bat than the 2nd gen. Very durable, with very little breakage. Marucci's, across the board, have been good bats in terms of quality; they seem to last. Whether you're a power hitter or a small kid, the CAT9 Composite does very well.
