Great bat for our son
Jim H
Parent
Pros: Our son likes the grip, feel and pop right out of the wrapper. He used other marucci bats in the past. Just hit a HR over the weekend travel tournament, practiced with the bat for a week. Will continue to buy this brand in the future.
Cons: None

Old Reliable
Jeff K.
Coach
Pros: My son has been using the Cat 8 for the last 3 years with great success. He is not a big kid so he benefits from a well balanced bat for generating bat speed and having more control. He used another brand composite bat in the fall league and also liked it. We bought the newest (most expensive) version of that bat in October and broke two of them where the barrel meets the handle. So we went back to the Cat 8 alloy and he STILL loves it. Great bat for the money. The loud noise can get annoying when hitting in the basement or the garage, but on the field people take notice.
Cons: Too many white and red out there. Opted for the JB colors the last two years.

My son is just moving up to 13u but will be playing a lot of fun, competitive 14u. Will this bat be a good transition from a -10? He is use to swinging a Zoa but this bat is getting a ton of good compliments from people I know.
Joey
The Marucci CAT8 -5 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBC85GB is a great bat to consider using for a hitter moving from a -10 to a -5 model. It features a balanced swing weight and is consistently ranked as one of the better bats in terms of performance and durability.

Need Help Finding a Bat?
We know that buying a bat might not be easy, but we are here to help!
Yes, JustBats.com will price match a competitor's listed price!
To do so, we verify some information. If you see an item listed at a lower price elsewhere, this is all we require:
We must verify that the website you want to price match is legitimate and an authorized dealer of the products they sell.
We must confirm that the competitor has the same size and product in stock and ready to ship. If the same size and product is out of stock on the competitor's website, we are unable to match their price.
We must confirm if the competitor charges sales tax and/or shipping fees since these are added to the final price of the product.
Lastly, our Bat Experts must check on the cost we pay to stock the item from the manufacturer. The price match must cover that manufacturer cost for the item.
We have the final decision for matching an online price.
