Marucci CAT9 -10 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBC910

Pros: I got this bat for my 8 year old who is playing his second year of 9U travel. He started using a teammates Cat8 halfway through last season bc it had more pop than his more expensive bat. We now have 5 or 6 Cat8s on our team so when the Cat9 came out I bought it for him the first day it was released. From the first swing it sings, but it also just gives him so much more confidence for some reason.

Cons: Between him not wanting to swing anything else in batting practice, to the other kids wanting to use it, I’m wondering how well it’s gonna hold up..

Pros: Looks cool

Cons: No pop

Pros: My son is playing 10u. 4’11 85lbs. Bought this bat the first day it was released. We bought a 29’ bat. Looks great, has plenty of pop. My son said “ it feels lighter than the Cat 8”. Not sure about the durability yet we’ve only had the bat for three weeks. So far so good. Hope this helps.

Cons: None as of yet.

Pros: Great feel

Cons: Need to improve the grip have all ready changed it out after two games. My son just prefers the better grips that are sold.

Pros: Everything

Cons: None

Pros: I swung my friends cat 9 for one tournament, it was the best bat I have ever held

Cons: The grip is not the best but besides that it is good

Pros: My son used the Cat 8 29" for the past year in 11U. He needed a longer size 30", so we purchased the Cat 9 for Fall ball 12U. Based on his comments and my observations please see the following: - same sound as Cat 8. - more pop! No really! The Bat is fire! - anti vibration knob has changed. He says it feals better than the Cat 8 for vibration. - end cap has changed.

Cons: None so far, but will wait to see if this bat dents over time as did the Cat 8.

Pros: I manage a 10u team and bought this bat for my son. His 3rd in game at bat he connected. Pop was well beyond expectations for his size and weight. Bat has amazing balance as well.

Cons: Durability will be interesting. But 12 month warranty from manufacturer seems good.

Pros: Ordered on Tuesday, arrived on Thursday in time for practice. Bat has a lot of pop. The other players on the team all want to use it.

Cons: We’ve only had the bat for 2 weeks, haven’t seen anything negative.

Pros: Good balanced feel, lots of pop

Cons: Durability. Can’t break with a 12 year old swinging it for 2 weeks

Pros: Has lots of pop. Will boost your kids confidence at the plate.

Cons: none yet!

Pros: Great all around bat

Cons: None

Pros: Balanced. Great pop. Soft on hands on mishits. My son loves the bat’s performance. Highly recommend.

Cons: Don’t love the stock grip.

Pros: Hitting is much better!!

Cons: None

Pros: My son is 7 years old playing U9 select baseball. He was using a Louisville Slugger drop 12 but since he has grown its a little to light so we decided to get a new bat. We settled on the Marucci Cat 9 drop 10. What an excellent choice. Very balanced with excellent pop off the barrel. He feels very confident in the cage and at the plate swinging with this bat. Marucci has a great reputation for making durable/balanced bats. This one certainly fits that mold.

Cons: Nothing of note right now

Pros: This bat has serious pop and great feel.

Cons: The whole team wants to use it.

Pros: love the feel and weight distibution

Cons: not sure we have found any yet

Pros: My son plays 9U ball. He has the 29" - 19oz. He loves the bat. Even though it is the same size at his other bat he says if feels like he is swinging nothing. He definitely has more confidence at the plate with it in his hands. This his 1st CAT bat and it sure has the pop we were looking for. First 2 times at the plate were line drives to deep left field.

Cons: The grip but that is like most bats nowadays. I recommend going ahead and ordering with the lizard skin pre installed. Just an FYI my son picked the Wildfire Camo and it looks great on the bat.

Pros: It has a huge sweet spot and great feel off the barrel overall this is a great bat and has great durbility

Cons: nnnnoooottttthhhhhiiiinnnggg

Pros: Great feel, good pop, looks good

Cons: They put a logo on the bat there is a marucci sticker on one side of the bat and cat9 on the other side of the bat and they are the lettering is raised and cause the ball to not pop

Pros: Player loves anti-vibration feature and pop of the bat.

Cons: None so far

Pros: Very nice looking bat.

Cons: I think Mariucci is getting greedy here. Is there really anything to be gained in terms of performance over a Cat 8 for the additional $50? And, for an additional $20, Cat 9 Connect which has more pop than single piece alloy. The Goods one piece will out perform this bat per Bat Digest and it's $50 less.

Pros: This bat has great pop with the expected "ping" of all the marucci cat series bats we have had when you hit that extended sweet spot.

Cons: Have not found one yet

Pros: Every thing

Cons: None

Pros: Lasted 5 months!

Cons: Lasted 5 months! It cracked within 5 months of buying it!!!

Pros: Great well balanced bat. Has Marucci’s durability with great anti vibe for a one piece bat! Has good pop for a non composite bat

Cons: Only con is after a few tournaments the stock Marucci grip is starting to loosen. Easy fix though

Pros: Lots of pop, big sweet spot and great feel. It was a quick pickup bat for my 11u son when his CF -10 broke before a tournament. Lots of kids on his travel team use the Cat 9 and 8 on his team and seem to be very reliable while waiting on a warranty claim from DeMarini.

Cons: I notice a little vibration at a couple of practices with my son. Only time will tell only had the bat for two weeks and one tournament.

Pros: Light weight and tons of pop

Cons: None so far

Pros: I’m nine years old and I think it’s the best bat in the world it has a bunch of pop in the bat the grip is soft and the bat feels good in your hands when you swing the bat. And I hit absolute moonshots with it.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Hits much better than the USA bats we have to use most of the year. Swings fairly easy for my 2 9U kids Not a lot of vibration JB did a sweet matching Lizard skin grip!

Cons: Price is a bit high but this year everything was expensive so maybe it's average. Hand sting if not in the sweet spot but minimal especially with the Lizard skin
