or
What’s the difference in this bat compared to the white CAT 8?
Erik
There is no difference between the Marucci CAT 8 -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBC88BG and the Marucci CAT 8 -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBC88 minus the colorway.
Cameron
Is there a break in routine that is best for this bat?
Michelle
The Marucci CAT 8 -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBC88BG is an alloy bat and thus does not require a break-in period.
Cameron
What's the life span of a aluminum bat like the Cat 8?
Rick
The lifespan of any bat will vary depending on how much you use it of course, but I would say you can easily get 1-2 years out of this model even if you are a year round player. We rarely get warranty claims from our customers on this model.
Kyle
My son is 10 yrs old. He is a strong kid but is 4'6" and only weighs 62 lbs. Am I better off going with a 28/20 or 29/19 bat? Just concerned the drop -8 would be too heavy?
Mike Santo
Per your son's height, weight and age, we would not recommend the Marucci CAT 8 -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBC88BG. A better route to take would be a 29 inch 19 ounce bat such as the Marucci CAT 8 -10 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBC810GB.
At Marucci, they make their products the same way you play baseball: Hard work, determination, and attention to detail. This product is handcrafted. We are committed to never releasing a product before it meets the standard set forth by our wood bat. Our process is proven. The only way to achieve perfection is to accept nothing else. We first have gloves to Big Leaguers in our inner circle to break in and critique - knowing the extreme situations they would be put in. Players like Chase Utley allowed us to comprehend what a player needs and looks for in an ideal fielding glove. The Marucci player advisory board was integral in testing, tweaking, and ulitmatley perfecting the glove line to have the feel and features that matter to players. Understanding this professional standard of perfection has allowed us to handcraft a performance product that will last consistently maximize your game. Handcrafted, one by one, with the highest quality materials, for superior quality and feel, these gloves will require a gradual break-in period which provides a longer lasting form and shape. Professionally Inspired. Precision Crafted. Marucci: Honor the Game.

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.
