### Top competitors comparison: The [Voodoo One](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/voodoo-one/l9487) and [Easton Alpha ALX](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/voodoo-one/l9487)

There is no 2022 version of the Atlas. It’s compared to the single-piece Solo which also used a variable wall thickness and unique end cap to keep the bat light. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)


**PROS**



* My 14-year-old son needed a new BBCOR bat. He likes the one he got as it swings light and the barrel seems huge, although it's very loud.
* My son has been swinging a Cat X composite. I was not seeing the bat speed I thought he should have by now, I bought him the Atlas and from the first swing I saw a difference on bat speed. 
* Balanced bat with a massive sweet spot which makes it easy to catch barrel. As well as great improvements in durability.

**CONS**



* Loudest bat especially in cages. Bat has a rattle in it and we have only had it 3 months.
* The bat has so much vibration.
* Way to loud. It's distracting.

### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The Louieville Slugger Atlas is a newer bat that's been out for two years now. It's the next bat in the same generation as the Louisville Slugger Solo. It is a one-piece design, very easy to swing. Flashy paint job. It’s one of the top couple of bats in the alloy market.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* This bat has a fantastic feel, sound, and performance on miss-hits. It boasts one of the largest sweet spots in BBCOR. Although it lacks feedback, it is very easy to swing.
* Great feel and pop. Although I usually change grips, the stock grip on this bat is solid. The durability is very impressive as well, as the bat has already outlasted most others.
* No failures on Meta bats except cosmetic chips. They perform better than new. High school varsity team used 32-3 for 2 years without issues. Change grip tape yearly and keep hitting!

**CONS**



* The finish will chip if hit against spikes.
* It's expensive.... and not crazy about the color.
* This bat has no pop.


### **Certification**: BBCOR, USSSA


### Expert Notes (Parker)

The Louisville Slugger Meta is still a slightly newer model. The meta is similar to the DeMarini CF which offers a lightweight composite handle with a huge barrel made for every sort of hitter. A popular series that offers great jump-off-the-barrel when you hit the sweet spot and keeps the sting off your hands when the ball is missed on the cap or handle.

## What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* This bat is amazing! Both my 18-year-old and 15-year-old love it. It produces more exit velocity than any other BBCOR bat we've used."
* My son owns both the Cat8 and the Meta. The Cat8 has decent pop, but nothing compared to the Meta. The sweet spot on the Meta is at least three times larger, and when he connects, the ball takes off.
* This bat is a tank. If you get this bat it will guarantee you 5 more exit velo.

**CONS**



* The grip is thick.
* Just the crazy price. But at this point, I'm numb to bat prices.
* Check to see if you can even use this bat, illegal for NCAA and NFHS play.

### Product Description 

As any baseball player will tell you, the name Louisville Slugger has essentially become synonymous with baseball bats over the years. But we want to remind you that this brand also pumps out a great selection of baseball gloves! In particular, Louisville Slugger TPX baseball gloves are constructed with cowhide leather. Featuring a steer hide leather lining, and a sturdy finger welting, TPX gloves are known for being incredibly durable. The 2018 TPX glove features a dual post web (or an H-web), and an open back. The positions recommended to use the infield TPX glove include short stop, second base, and third base.

### Expert Notes

TPX gloves are pretty flashy, but they’re great for players at any level. These mitts are made with a mid-tier leather that comes about 40 percent broken in, allowing players to customize these gloves 60 percent of the way. TPX gloves are best suited for any infield position, mainly shortstop, 2B, 3B, or pitcher to be exact. This glove maintains its shape well and won’t easily experience wear and tear.  You’ll be able to use a TPX glove for several seasons if you take care of it properly!

* Decent pop and has good barrel control. It seems lighter due to the way it;s balanced. If you’re thinking of moving up in size, do it with this bat.
* I got my son the CAT X BBCOR 33" bat. He chose it over his Voodoo One for his high school varsity games. The CAT X seems well-built, and other players using it have had no issues. In contrast, two of his teammates' Voodoo One bats have already broken this season.
* The grip is cushioned and comfortable. The liquid gel handle reduces vibrations and the "sweet spot" on the barrel is forgiving. Highly recommend this bat.

**CONS**



* The BBCOR Cat X is by far the worst Marucci we've ever bought. It has NO Pop and sounds like he's hitting rocks with the bat. The ball barely leaves the infield when he hits it. 
* Broken in by underhand toss of 160 pitches. Handle broke in a week. Wearing gloves saved the my son's hands.
* Unfortunately my son has been using this bat for only a few weeks and there is already something rattling in the handle.

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.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* It's an end-loaded bat, but it's very easy to swing. You have full control when going through the strike zone, no matter where the ball is over the plate.
* This bat allows you to maximize your swing speed for high ball exit velocities. The sweet spot is huge and covers almost the entire barrel of the bat, making the ball jump off the bat."
* It’s been used for about a month for cage work and early season practice. The ability to consistently barrel or square up on a pitch is better than any bat on the market. The connect version does minimize the vibration.

**CONS**



* The grip is slippery. Even with batting gloves on it’s hard to hold on to it. Easy fix with a lizard skin grip.
* Bat knob fell off after 1st time using, no pop!
* Used for one game and the knob sticker has come off already. 


### Certification: BBCOR, USSA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The CATX Connect is a hybrid bat. It's a strong performer. It's top five in the hybrid market. Very easy to swing, very well balanced. There's a good nature to it; it doesn't dent. It's very durable. But it is an end-loaded bat and a two-piece hybrid, so it's more designed for the power hitter and for stronger players.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

  

**PROS**

-   Great for kids who need to "feel the barrel" during their swing. The ball jumps off this bat well. It has never collapsed and provides enough feedback to know how you hit it. Vibration is only felt when hitting the handle.
    
-   "My 12-year-old son upgraded to a Marucci Cat 9 -5 bat from a 30" -8 bat and is hitting great with it. Although the bat is heavier, it is well-balanced and solid. Highly recommended for kids upgrading to a -5."
    
-   Bought the Cat 9 BBCOR bat for my 13-year-old son. It's well-balanced and has good pop for a one-piece. Vibration-resistant knob helps with miss hits. My son loves it and is hitting the ball well.
    

**CONS**

-   Good bat for my 10-year-old, but didn't hold up well in New England cold spring. Dead after one AAU season despite hard hits and dingers. Would have given 5 stars if it lasted longer.
    
-   My son used this bat for 1 season and it has multiple dents in it. He is 12 and weighs about 70 pounds. Thought I would get more than 1 season out of the bat.
    
-   Bought a bat for my 6-year-old son a year ago. It's good but lacks the power and balance of CATX Aluminum. Looking for sales to buy CATX.
    

  

### Certification: BBCOR

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

They took the same design from the CAT8 and strengthened the CAT9 with a stronger alloy to avoid any denting issues. It's a very good, durable bat. The CAT9 will be a bit heavier than the CAT8; it's a better bat for stronger kids. The first generation of the CAT9 came out with a gray, black, and red paint job. The second generation they called the Past Time, which was red, white, and blue. It's the same bat, but a different paint job. The second bat was more popular simply because of how it looked. Everyone likes the American Flag with its Stars and Stripes.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* Bought for son transitioning to BBCOR. Light and balanced. Good pop and sound. Great balanced BBCOR bat!
* Like cheating, it’s awesome! Whole barrel is super hot. 33” sweet spot
* Bat has huge sweet spot. Lots of pop!

**CONS**



* My son's bat grip is separating already. The bat lacks the usual sound of CatX or Cat8 bats. We paid extra for the grip, but it's coming apart fast. 
* The price doesn't deserve more than 4 stars, but we appreciate the fast shipping and the name engraving.
* Bought this bat for my 14 year old, felt good during batting practice, but the second he hit the ball in game it broke in half! 500 dollars down the drain.


### **Certification**: USSSA, BBCOR


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The CAT X Composite is very, very easy to swing. Not quite as popular as the CF in terms of performance. There are newer Marucci bats out there that are stronger, hotter-performing bats. But it's still a top top-tier bat. It's right up there with the CAT9 composite, but it doesn't get the notoriety because you've got some newer bats on the market with cooler paint jobs.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* I am pleased to say that my son has experienced an increased exit speed and longer distances. He has noticed that the bat has an expanded sweet spot, resulting in more comfortable hits with less sting.
* My son had a few mishits but the ball still came off decently, and he mentioned that there was no vibration. I would recommend this bat, especially for younger kids who are improving their skills but still want success.
* A go-to choice when under pressure. It has a large sweet spot, providing a ton of power. The bat is also easy to swing and consistently achieves a higher exit velocity off the tee compared to a Cat9 alloy and 23' meta.

**CONS**



* I purchased the -8 version, which has a small sweet spot. The knob is great, but the grip is not as effective. 
* If you are still 11, I suggest you get the drop ten because it has a bigger sweet spot and more pop due to its smaller aluminum content. Overall, it's a nice medium-swinging -8! 
* I was unaware that this bat was the Junior version and only recommended for Coach Pitch.


### **Certification**: USA, USSSA, BBCOR 


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts)) 

The CAT8 is an older model from 2019 and a good BBCOR and USSSA bat. Very good performing bat with a sound that players love. Lightweight and easy to swing. It's probably one of the best sellers, and since the CAT8 is still available, it's perhaps one of the better bang for the buck. Prices dropped for this older model. So, it is a good match for an entry-level player on a tight budget.

While the DeMarini CF is known for its two-piece composite design that emphasizes flexibility and feel, and the Louisville Slugger Meta prides itself on its three-piece composite build for balance and speed, the Marucci CAT excels in delivering direct feedback, explosive power, and a classic feel, making it a solid choice for players who appreciate the simplicity and effectiveness of alloy bats.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* This bat is one of the best options available for young players. It is USA-regulated and commonly used in little league. It offers excellent control and feel and has a large sweet spot for hitting home runs.
* I bought a new bat for my son a month ago since he had outgrown his old one. The new bat is longer and heavier, and he's happy with it. His game has improved since he started using it.
* Marucci's bat is lightweight, durable, and has an old-school sound when solid contact is made. My son has been hitting great with it.

**CONS**



* I like Marucci bats, but this is the 3rd time I've bought one that's heavier than listed. Bought a 28" 17 oz 2022 USA Cat for my 8 y/o son, but it weighed 19.3 oz. Will keep trying with Marucci, but they all tend to be heavier than listed.
* Purchased a 29” 18oz. bat, but it weighed 20.3 oz.
* I bought this product for my son and when I asked him to rate it, he gave it four stars. He explained that he didn't give it five stars because he feels too much vibration upon hits and it doesn't have the best pop.

The Marucci CAT is designed for Little League. It has that USA stamp, which means it has a lightweight feel and good control. The CAT has an affordable price point, so it won't break the bank. A lot of parents get this bat specifically because it's a quality bat with a good bang for the buck.

CAT9 Composite

## Marucci CAT9 Composite Baseball Bat

The Marucci CAT 9 Composite bat represents a significant advancement in Marucci's approach to building bats for players who prefer the feel and performance of fully composite construction. Unlike its alloy counterparts within the CAT series, the CAT 9 Composite provides a massive barrel and balanced swing. With a philosophy deeply rooted in the insights and needs of actual players, Marucci’s Cat 9 Composite bat showcases the brand’s proficiency at using cutting-edge materials to elevate the performance of players at any age.

**Perfect bat for:** Both contact and power hitters who don’t mind a barrel-heavy bat.


### Key features include:



* **Multi-Directional Composite Material:** Creates an ultra-responsive barrel that offers a significant performance advantage across the entire hitting surface.
* **Maximum Barrel Length:** Provides a larger sweet spot and enhances the potential for off-center hits to still travel far and fast.
* **SDX LT Connection:** Reduces vibration on contact, delivering a more comfortable hitting experience without sacrificing power on swing-through.
* **Ring-Free Barrel Construction:** Eliminates dead spots for a more consistent performance and allows players to take full advantage of the bat's technical design.
* **Micro-Perforated Soft-Touch Grip:** Ensures comfortable, secure handling even in rigorous play conditions, reducing hand fatigue and enhancing control.
* **Balanced Swing Weight:** Optimizes bat speed and control, offering a perfect blend for hitters who value precision as much as power.


### Top competitors comparison: [DeMarini CF Zen](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/cf-zen-2020/l8432) and the [Easton ADV 360](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/easton/adv-360/l59709)

The Marucci Cat 9 Composite shines with its use of multi-directional composite materials, enabling a level of responsiveness and barrel performance that's hard to match. While the DeMarini CF Zen is praised for its consistently strong performance across the barrel and the Easton ADV 360 offers revolutionary 360-degree barrel tuning, the Cat 9 Composite distinguishes itself with a superior balance between speed, power, and comfort, courtesy of its meticulous engineering and vibration-dampening connection technology. This makes the Cat 9 Composite a top choice for youth players aiming to elevate their game with a bat that delivers fluidity and force in equal measure.

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

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.

The Marucci Cat 9 Connect sets itself apart with its Outer-Locking System (OLS), providing an unmatched blend of stiffness and energy transfer. While the DeMarini Voodoo is known for its two-piece hybrid design that emphasizes a balanced swing for hitters who want both power and speed, and the Louisville Slugger Select PWR offers a three-piece design for enhanced swing control and reduced vibration, the Cat 9 Connect specializes in delivering a potent combination of speed, power, and precision, making it a formidable choice for players aiming for home runs.
