Almost New Condition 2023 Marucci CATX USSSA Certified Bat (-8) Composite 21 oz 29"

This bat was purchased nearly unused (original owner purchased in Dec 23, then son suffered season ending injury in January 24). They put approx total 200 swings on it but never got to use in a tournament. When his son returned to baseball, he had sized up to drop 5. We purchased in Dec 24 from them, and my son also never used in an tournament due to it being too cold. He figured out in the cages that the bat was a little too short and too light for him— he added approximately 55-60 swings to the bat. Though out of manufacturer warranty, the bat is clearly barely used and in excellent condition (that is still the original grip on the bat that looks barely used). As a composite, this Marucci is known to be more durable than other popular models like the Hype Fire, Demarini’s CF, Soldier Tank— but that also means a longer break in period. For this bat, based on our hittrax results at our Dbat, it appears the bat is just starting to get broken in (we know this because my son’s science fair experiment compared performance of alloy bats vs composite bats ). Anyway, long post bc I think whoever ends up with this bat will be getting a sweet deal. Happy to answer any questions you might have. Product Specs: Length: 29” Bat Material: Composite Weight: 21OZ Drop: -8 Release Year: 2023 Condition: Used Bat Certification: USSSA Certified Age Group: Kid Pitch (9YO-13YO) Barrel: 2 3/4” Quality: Excellent

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.
