Description

Marucci CAT 9 Pastime -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBC98A

This drop 8 edition of the Cat 9 will make a loud shout-out to our great country's colorway. Take this red, white and blue bat to the plate and start knocking baseballs across the yard!

Bat Benefits

Marucci outfits this Cat 9 with some really impressive technology. It has a straightforward design as it is going to be a one-piece, all-alloy baseball bat. However, the Marucci engineers dove deep when they designed that alloy material. The AZR alloy that creates the bat undergoes a 3-stage heat treatment process and the result of that treatment is a better feel at contact & more forgiveness if you don't square it up perfectly. And if you do get the baseball right on the screws the AZR alloy when send a baseball flying across the outfield. 

For batters that are still developing, they will truly love the 2nd Generation AV2 Knob. This knob is able to keep that uncomfortable stinging feeling out of a batter's hands if you take a baseball close to the hands or up near the end-cap.

This drop 8 edition of the bat has the largest allowed 2 3/4" barrel diameter that should take up quite a bit of area in the strike zone. As well, the feel of the bat should be pretty balanced and all types of hitters should be able to find success with it!

Warranty

Marucci is a true industry leader in the baseball bat realm. And they understand that when you’re a leader, you have to help out customers. Because of that, they extend a twelve (12) month manufacturer’s warranty period on this bat. If you get the bat from us and notice a warranty issue with it during the first year from the purchase date, please contact the JustBats Bat Experts. They are trained in warranty knowledge and will make sure that you are able to do a successful warranty return with Marucci.

It says senior league. Will my son be able to use this in NEAAU as a 13 year old? Craig
Senior league is also referred to as a "USSSA" bat. The Marucci CAT9 Pastime -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBC98A is approved for play at the 13U and below levels of USSSA baseball.

What is the difference between a CAT9 Pastime and CAT9 Pastime Connect? Michelle
The Marucci CAT9 Pastime -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBC98A features the same alloy barrel as the CAT9 Pastime Connect but is a one-piece bat whereas the Connect features a two-piece design (composite handle and alloy barrel). The Connect will offer better vibration control on miss hits but swings slightly heavier.
