Great bat! Peter Ryan Parent

Pros: This bat looks nice! I bought -5 for my 13 yr old son. It performs similar to his cat 8. He loves it! Swings balanced and has nice sound and pop.

Cons: Doesn’t have the fat barrel in the middle of the bat like some other bats. We like that though because it’s more realistic to pro bat models.

How does the Marucci Posey28 -5 (MSBP285S) compare to the Marucci CAT 8 -5 (MSBC85)? James
The Marucci Posey28 Pro Metal -5 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBP285S features the same AZ105 alloy and the 2nd generation AV2 anti-vibration knob as the Marucci CAT 8 -5 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBC85. The difference between these two option are minimal and will come down to cosmetics.
Daveron
Balanced or end loaded? Jeff
The Marucci Posey28 Pro Metal -5 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBP285S will feature a balanced swing weight.
Daveron
What’s the difference between this bat and the Cat 8? Chris
This Marucci Posey28 Pro Metal -5 USSSA Baseball Bat (MSBP285S) will be the same as the Cat 8 with the only exception being the name on paint on the 2 bats.
Ben
Does this bat have more pop than the DeMarini CF bat? Kaden Robinson
The Marucci Posey28 Pro Metal -5 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBP285S and the DeMarini will have a very similar performance. The biggest difference will be that the Posey28 is an alloy bat and the CF is a composite.
Tori
The description is showing a 2 3/4" barrel for the -5 bat, is this correct or is it 2 5/8"? Scott
This model has a 2 3/4" barrel diameter.
Kyle
My son will use this bat for 1 season only. How does it compare to the Cat 7? He is on the border of 30" to 31". He is not a strong power hitter. Is he better with a 30" being lighter than 31"? bob O
The Marucci Posey28 Pro Metal -5 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBP285S has a very similar feel to the CAT 7 and will have a similar performance. As far as size, if he is not very strong and could use some help with the swing speed, I would recommend getting the 30''.
Tori
What is the difference in Posey 28 and CAT 9? If just cosmetic, why the difference in price? Virgil
Marucci has yet to release a new model of the Marucci Posey28 Pro Metal -5 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBP285S which is why this bat is less than the Marucci CAT 9 -5 USSSA Baseball Bat: MSBC95. When the Posey model is eventually replaced, the new version will likely be at the same $280 price point. As for these two bats, they are constructed from different alloy material (AZ105 - Posey and AZR - CAT 9). What impact this might have on the two bats is likely minimal but, overall, the Posey might not feel as balanced compared to the CAT 9.
