Marucci CAT 9 Connect -10 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBCC910
Marucci is creating the rare power bat in the drop 10 size for youth players. If you have a young star who is ready to increase the distance in their hits by swinging an end-loaded bat, consider this CAT 9 Connect.
Bat Benefits
Three letters define the huge advancement made with this bat... AZR. The new AZR alloy material (located on the barrel of this bat) goes through a thermal treatment process to prep the material for hitting baseballs. From the thermal treatment process, the player will get a bat that has better feel, more forgiveness and overall better performance (when compared to past Marucci CAT Bats).
This specific bat will be a hybrid that incorporates an alloy barrel and a composite handle. Where the barrel and handle connect, Marucci is going to introduce a new connection piece. The connection piece is called the Outer-Locking System (OLS) and it creates a stiff feel when the bat connects with the ball, but eliminates nearly all the negative vibrations that can get down to your hands when you connect with a baseball.
New material + new connection + hybrid design = A power bat for young stars looking to knock balls over the fence!
Warranty
Marucci knows that they would not be where they are at today without their fans. Because of that, they offer a twelve (12) month warranty on this bat. If you get this bat from JustBats and notice some wrong with the bat within 12 months of the purchase, please reach out to our team of Bat Experts. The Bat Experts will get you set up with the info and items needed to send the bat to Marucci for a replacement.

Great Bat, but didn't last half a season Brian Barnes Parent
Pros: Great Pop and feel. Hardly any sting on missed pitches.
Cons: Bought the bat in the middle of all-star season. Bat cracked at the end of the barrel after using for only half an all-star season. The bat isn't worth it if it doesn't last at least a full season and a half. I expect them to last a lot longer, especially since the barrel is aluminum.
Connect cat 9 Steven Taylor Parent
Pros: Changed my son's hitting completely around and one of his teammates even purchased the same bat.
Cons: Were hoping the connect piece holds up over time.
Bat Perch Parent
Pros: Great balanced bat! Does not have quite the pop(it's still good) some other bats have, but it's durable.
Cons: It's not quite as hot as a couple other brands
Quality is not there Jay Choi Parent
Pros: Only good for few months
Cons: My son is 10 years old and paying on the travelling team. He cracked Bat8 last year so I bought him Cat 9 connect. It only lasted 4 months and the bat is cracked now. Marruci quality is really poor.
Get this bat! FA Parent
Pros: Great feel, amazing pop Believe it or not, my son hit his first home run using this bat.
Cons: It may hurt your opponents feelings
Great bat Melissa M Parent
Pros: This bat has a lot of juice and my son in 9U loves it. At first was a bit end loaded coming from a USA league but he got used to rather quickly. Although it’s pricey, I recommend.
Cons: Price
Review C english Other
Pros: It is really amazing and I am just the 65 year old grandfather who purchased it . However I have been involved in playing and coaching for over 55 years. The ball jumps off the bat
Cons: We will see. Only 4 weeks old
Great Lance Parent
Pros: My son has used the CAT7 & CAT8 which have been great bats. We looked at Meta/CF Zen but went with the Connect in hopes that it would be more durable and require less maintenance over composite. So far he says there isn't any bat sting and I think that is a big upgrade compared to the 1 piece alloys he had been swinging. Once you get into the top tier of bats, I think it really comes down to what you like and feel confident swinging.
Cons: Worry about how the OLS will hold up, but this is our first experience with two piece. It did weigh a little bit heaver compared to past models, but it's small enough that I don't believe it will mean much.

How does the CAT 9 compare to the 2020 CF ZEN? I haven't been able to find any articles or videos comparing the two. Jason
Description says it is end loaded but you answered a previous question saying it has a balanced feel like the Posey Pro Metal. Does the Connect in a -10 swing weight have the same balanced feel as a regular CAT 8? Donald Parr
What is the difference between the cat9 connect and cat9 Damon
10u player is currently using a 28/18 CAT 8. Would you suggest moving to a 29/19 CAT 9 Connect even though it is more end loaded or staying at 28/18 since it is a bit more end loaded than the CAT 8? John
How will the durability be for Cat 9 Connect? 2 years ago my son exploded 3 CF zens in one season at 9u. Need a bat that will last through the season. Chris
I am really torn between the CAT 9, CAT 9 Connect, or The Goods drop 10 USSSA. My 9 year old son is about 5'3", right around 60 lbs., so on the smaller side. He is not necessarily a power hitter, but needs a good bat for the travel season coming up. I'm eyeing 28" or 29", but have seen conflicting recommendations. He currently hits a 27" Easton Beast drop 10 USSSA, so either bat will be a step up for sure. Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to try out the CAT or Goods. Would like to have him hitting a new bat next week so he has a month to get used to it before games start. Any thoughts? Kevin K
How does this bat 30/20 compare weightwise and performance to a Cat 8 30/22. Will it be lighter to swing or equal? PC
My 11 yr old, 4'11, 90 lb kid is not a big hitter and has a 29/18 Easton Maxum Combat USSSA and a Easton Beast X Evolution 29/19. We were thinking of the 30/20 Connect since it is 2 piece hybrid like the Beast and has more vibration control but from your answers it seems the Cat 9 one piece 30/20 may feel better as its more balanced/lighter PC
Will this bat ever be available in 27 inch -10? Brandon Strauser
what teperature should it be to use this bat? Terry
Can this bat be used in 35-45 degrees weather? Danny
Do you need to brake in this bat a certain way? Justin
