Marucci CAT 9 -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBC98
The Marucci CAT is the bat to use for lighting up USSSA fields this season. One-piece, all-alloy and a -8 size will make it a popular choice for batters looking to move from the -10 size of bat.
Bat Benefits
The CAT 9 is all about the new AZR aluminum material. It undergoes an intensive 3 stage thermal treatment process. And when the alloy material comes out on the other side of that process; it is equipped to deliver better feel, more forgiveness and high performance!
Don't forget that even though this is a one-piece bat, it swings nearly as comfortably as any 2-piece bat out there. This is because it is outfitted with the 2nd edition of the AV2 Anti-Vibration knob. This knob eliminates nearly all vibration that gets down to a player's hands (even if you don't get it on the sweet spot).
Warranty
Marucci is in the business of helping customers. Because of that, they offer a twelve (12) month warranty on this bat that extends from the date of the purchase. If you buy the bat from JustBats and experience a warranty issue within 12 months of the date it was bought, please reach out to our resident Bat Experts. They will assist in getting you the info to begin a warranty shipment to Marucci so your bat can be replaced.

A collection of body care products inspired by iconic scents of the game, exclusively available in partnership with Routine Baseball.
The first in our line of products is the baseball-inspired 5-Tool Kit. Featuring two scents of body wash, shampoo & conditioner, deodorant, and a turf body scrubber, all packaged in a travel bag to take with you on your next on-the-road ballgame.
Pine Tar Body Wash
The Scent: The sticky stuff, holding in it the memories of walking up to the plate. The distinctive fresh, sharp, woody and slightly minty scent of the ritual of each at-bat. Fast fleeting, but never forgotten.
Champagne Shower Body Wash
The Scent: Goggles at the ready: it’s time to pop the corks and raise the banners. That championship ring is yours, spray it like you mean it!
Glove Leather Shampoo & Conditioner
The Scent: The smell of a glove is always familiar, even after time away. The leather oozes excitement, summer, adrenaline, friendships. The glove tells a story like never before. We’ve never smelled a mitt and not smiled.
Fresh Cut Grass Deodorant
The Scent: The field is cut. The lines are chalked. Breathe in that dewy morning scent. The undeniable smell of a fresh field - it’s time to play ball.
The Turf Scrubber
Activate your tool kit with our bacteria-resistant silicone scrubber. Quick-drying and perfect for travel, the final bristles create a frothy lather and the larger nubs are a great scalp massager or to scrub out caked on stubborn post-game dirt. Includes a hook to hang on a shower caddy.
