Description
Marucci CAT 9 Connect -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBCC98
The CAT 9 Connect -8 bat is the one to pull off the bat rack if you're aiming for the warning track and beyond. The barrel-heavy feel should give strong batters a little boost in the power department.
Bat Benefits
It all starts with the alloy material when it comes to the CAT 9 Connect. The AZR material is not a feature to skip over. This new material brings the trifecta...(1) Better Feel (2) More Forgiveness & (3) More Performance.
In addition to the new alloy material, the new Outer-Locking System (OLS) connection point will stand out on the bat. This system allows this two piece bat to feel extra stiff while also limiting the vibration that gets down to a player's hands on miss-hit.
This hybrid (alloy barrel and composite handle) bat needs to have your consideration if you are buying for a power hitter that needs a drop 8 bat.

Cat 9 connect is epic Peddycord Coach
Pros: Great overall bat
Cons: Hard to find the bat
Best bat yet Tony Coach
Pros: First game my son went 3-3 .. 2 homeruns And a tripe off the top of the fence .. he is in love with this bat now ..
Cons: None yet...
Great so far The Great One Parent
Pros: Feel, Zero Sting / Feedback on miss hits, excellent Pop seems to more than a regular Cat 1 piece even though this is still an alloy barrel. I would classify as slightly end loaded, not fully end loaded. Saw many reviews and youtube reviews about how end-loaded and power oriented this bat was. It does have a slight end-load but the feel is not nearly as drastic as some reviews out there. My player is capable of hitting the ball hard but is not a "power" hitting. He's capable of hitting a home run but rarely does. He has not trouble with bat speed or barrel control on his drop 8.
Cons: none so far. I'm curios to see how the connector piece holds up.

Why it’s the best Player

Cons: I have no cons
