Description
Marucci CATX Composite -5 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBCCPX5
Marucci entered the composite bat world a few years ago with a bang and is looking to make even more noise with the CATX Composite -5 USSSA Baseball Bat!
Bat Benefits
Cat Bats have dominated the USSSA scene throughout the past decade and Marucci anticipates keeping it that way with the CatX Composite! Although it might seem tough to find any room for improvement from previous models, the CatX Composite includes a few new features that will take your game to the next level!
Once again, Marucci has constructed this two-piece composite bat with some of the highest technology in the industry. The barrel is going to be contrived from the MDX Composite design that places the carbon fibers of the barrel in many layers and at many different directions to create a bat that is ultra-responsive! That composite barrel is locked into the composite handle by the OLS (Outer Locking System) Connector Piece. This connection system incorporates a threaded groove that internally locks the barrel and handle together. And then they complete the connection with the external sleeve that puts an extra hold on the connection point.
The main difference between the CatX Composite from previous models will be the new S-40 Composite handle. This handle is ~8-10% stiffer than prior Cat bats, which will transfer energy faster from the batter to the ball resulting in unmatched performance! In addition, the CatX Composite includes a new custom-sized handle taper for a more ergonomic fit and improved bat control.
Lastly, this Marucci USSSA bat will feel a little barrel-heavy. Typically, JustBats recommends barrel-loaded bats for power hitters. However, we believe that the slightly heavy barrel on this bat can be managed by both contact and power hitters!
Warranty
In the last decade, Marucci has come on strong and established itself as a true force within the baseball bat market. An integral part of becoming that force is their care for customers. To exemplify that care, they extend a twelve (12) month manufacturer’s warranty period on this bat. If you purchase the bat from us and a warranty issue arises within 12 months of the purchase date, please let the Bat Experts know. The Experts are trained in product and warranty knowledge. They will be able to get you the info that you need to initiate a warranty replacement process with Marucci.

Overall King of -5’s IMO Josh Wooten Coach
Pros: Pop: Good pop out of the wrapper GREAT when sound starts to change. Balanced: Big and small alike can handle it no problem. Durability:middle school season, Rec league, all stars, now into fall ball with cage work almost everyday multiple kids using it not one issue.
Cons: Factory wrap came off kinda quick time wise but swing wise it’s probably lasted longer than it should.

Durable as a tank hitz nukes Brayden Schmitt Player
Pros: I’ve been using this bat for 5 months now and have taken thousands of swings and while other demarini bats would have issues this bat hits nukes and is still in fine condition durability wise.
Cons: Price Paint chips Takes a while to break in
Great bat! Joseph Other
Pros: Bat hits nukes. Id say 50+ ft further than any other bat I have. The feel is great. Super light and wips through the zone. Also sounds great. More like a CF Zen. Sounds definitely changes after breaking in. Taper on handle is sweet and also the grip tape is super sticky. Better than any other bat i have also. Super sticky!
Cons: Paint chips easy on it is my only complaint. These bats are super cool to look at so when they chip it feels like its chipping a rolex. Breaks the heart ?? ??
This bat is ?????? Nick Parent
Pros: TONS of pop, swings light, the sound off the bat is awesome. My son loves this bat
Cons: None as of now
Breaking in still…. Andy King Parent
Pros: Only full composite 33” -5 WITH 2 3/4 barrel I’ve ever found aside from a Canadian made Combat from 5 years ago off eBay which is nice but not in same class. He Swung 33” -5 2 5/8th Zoa for last two months of 22’ season and loved it, The cat x composite feels more balanced and barrel is large!!! Feels more like the Tru -8 33” in the weight distribution After first two outdoor BP sessions, about 100 swings I can hear the sound changing, as Bat Bros video also mentioned, and I notice more and more pop…. Player is 6’ 1” 175… almost 13 soon…. Should be perfect come April
Cons: Price
