Description

Marucci CATX Composite -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBCCPX8

Place the Marucci CATX Composite -8 USSSA Baseball Bat in your player's hands and give them every advantage possible at the plate!

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 JustBats and a warranty issue arises within 12 months of the purchase date, please let the JustBats 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.

My son is a 10 year old who is 4'6" and weighs 75 pounds. He has very good strength for his age and works out on a regular basis. I am trying to decide on either a 29 -10 or 29 -8. What would be your recommendation? JON
Based on the player's age, we would recommend a -10 bat. The Marucci CATX Composite -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBCCPX8 is better suited for a stronger 12U player.
Cameron
How long to break this bat in? CJ
With the Marucci CATX Composite -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBCCPX8 being made of composite material, it would need to be broken in. To break in the bat, we would recommend the player would want to begin hitting off a tee then soft toss while rotating the bat 1/4 turn between swings for an even break in. Generally, this takes about 200-300 swings.
