When the Marucci CAT 5 burst onto the baseball scene, it quickly became one of the top aluminum bats on the market. That tradition has continued with Marucci's CAT 6 Series. But could Marucci's next CAT be even better? |
As with all of Marucci's bats, the development of the CAT 6's ultra-responsive design relied on endless field testing by the game's best collegiate players as well as insight from some of baseball's top professional stars. What emerged is a bat that blends a traditional aluminum alloy construction with anti-vibration technology never before seen in a one-piece model. |
Marucci CAT 6 Specs:
Those familiar with one-piece alloy bats have likely experienced the sting and vibration that occurs on off-center contact. And plenty of bats out there claim to provide the "smoothest vibration-free swing" possible. But, through testing conducted by noted acoustics expert Dr. Daniel A. Russell, it was shown that the vibration dampening rate of the CAT 6 is 5.6 times higher than the next closest competitor. Here's what some actual users had to say about their experience with the CAT 6: "Balanced, great feel, and a lot of pop. Just like the CAT 5, only better." "I swung the CAT 5 BBCOR and it was the best BBCOR bat I ever had. I bought the CAT 6 and it's even better. Feels so good at contact and the ball literally rockets off the barrel. And to top it all off, it's only $250." "Just how it feels. Ball comes off smooth and just feels so good. No vibration. Balanced how I like it with just a little more on the end. Best bat out. Price is also amazing! This is the bat you need."

With all of the testing and testimony that showcases just how great the CAT 6 has been, would you believe Marucci could actually improve on this premium technology? If you're a doubter, it may be time to change your opinion, because production of a new CAT 7 has been confirmed by Marucci. Specific details on this new design are limited at the moment, but players can expect a bat that is stronger and more responsive than the CAT 6. As well as some technology you've never seen on a CAT model. Currently, we anticipate the CAT 7 to be available on JustBats.com as soon as mid-July of 2016. |
