Honor the great game of our nation when you pick up this BBCOR edition of the Cat 9 Connect Pastime!
Bat Benefits
This hybrid bat will have a two-piece design. The barrel will be built of aluminum material and the handle is going to be constructed from composite. Due to this design, it will feel considerably heavy in the barrel & it will be a bat that we recommend for power hitters.
Marucci dedicated tons of time and resources to building the barrel of this bat. They have their special AZR alloy that went through 3 stages of heat treatment. The result of that labor is a barrel that is more responsive and also provides more forgiveness. And Marucci didn't quit there. The engineers also developed a Longitudinal Groove System (LGS) that takes excess weight out of the thickest portion of the bat's barrel. The LGS should also allow for increased flexibility and better performance across the bat's barrel.
The folks at Marucci also got advanced in regard to the connection piece that is used on this bat. They have introduced the Outer-Locking System that attaches the barrel and handle from the outside in. This connector piece should create one of the stiffest feels that you'll find on a two-piece bat while also mitigating the vibration that gets down to a player's hands on a miss-hit.

It hits absolute tanks Connor Player
Pros: Super powerful. The taper is really nice. Super good looking bat. Still underrated.
Cons: This bat is end loaded, but if your like me then you might like that.
Wonderful bat theoutlawscumbag Parent
Pros: Very good option for the kid that needs to "feel the barrel" during swing. Tons of barrel out there and the ball jumps off of it; maybe a little less than The Goods, but i have never seen or heard of one of these collapsing into itself and if you get it with this bat, you get it. My son says there is just enough feedback to let you know how you caught it, but that you would pretty much need to hit it on the handle to get buzzed. Then there is the price right now! We bought the bat in a 33" when the price first dropped to $199 and he loved it so much he asked for 33.5" and 34" in the same bat to use over the next couple of years. At $139, for the 34", how could we go wrong? It seems most of the newer two-piece end-loaded bats are moving towards lighter swing weights and that is not what he wants, so this is about perfect for him.
Cons: It is not for everyone. Other kids on his team that swing 33" bats pick this thing up and "club" is the first word out of their mouths, but a big, strong kid that wants an end-load and is considering The Goods, could save his parents a lot of money and get a handful of these instead for the same price!
Can't go wrong with marucci Nathaniel Lindeman Player
Pros: The bat has great pop and a wonderful sweet spot with very little feedback/vibration. But the better deal in this price range would be the Louisville Slugger Select Pwr, because it has a bigger sweet spot, with just as much pop while being a tad lighter. Another alternative is the DeMarini the Goods because it has just slightly more power, but it has major durability issues.
Cons: None, but there are better alternatives.
Bet bbcor bat!!! Player
Pros: When you square the ball up, it goes a LONG WAY!!! I’ve been using it for about a year and it’s still just as good if not better. Also does not ring your ears up a bunch but will surprise you when it does at times. Lastly, even if you don’t square the ball up the bat is pretty favorable on miss hits and can still get good contact. Would highly recommend!!!!
Cons: The bat is a little on the heavy side and it doesn’t have the biggest sweet spot ever. Also, $400!!! What else do I need to say about it??
Nice Bat! Allan Ramsey Parent
Pros: My 13yr old son is just a bit above average size for his age and is crushing the ball with this bat. Reminder it's the player not the bat but this one certainly helps a lot .
Cons: No real cons just never thought I would spend $400 for a baseball bat..... no such thing when I was a kid and I'm only 42.
My opinion Dylan Ivy Player
Pros: Really good bat
Cons: Small sweet spot
Best bbcor bat anonymous Player

Great bat! Anonymous Player
Pros: -Feels great to swing -Launches the ball -Unlike most of the cat series, it doesn't ring you ears -Huge Sweet Spot and is good on miss hits

This Bat is Phenomenal Sean Dietzel Parent
Pros: Well balanced but still a good amount of end load, huge sweet spot, no feedback from mis-hits, my 13 year old is smashing with it, he’s at most 20’ shy of the distances he hits with a USSSA DeMarini Zen, very impressed with this bat
Cons: None so far
