Marucci Cat 9 2 3/4" (-8) USSSA Baseball Bat (2025)

overview

The Cat 9 2 ¾" (-8) USSSA Baseball Bat features a 2 ¾ inch barrel and a drop 8 length-to-weight ratio, certified USSSA 1.15 BPF. Crafted with a three-stage thermal treatment, the AZR alloy enhances barrel responsiveness for improved feel, forgiveness, and performance while matching the strength of the Marucci CAT 8. Its multi-variable wall design expands the sweet spot and offers thinner, more forgiving barrel walls. The 2nd Generation AV2 Anti-Vibration knob reduces negative vibrations for a smoother swing. Ring-free barrel construction boosts flex and performance, while precision balancing lowers the moment of inertia for better control. A one-piece alloy build delivers a classic feel, complemented by a micro-perforated soft-touch grip for enhanced comfort and grip.
