The Marucci CATX2 Alloy USA Youth Baseball Bat in the -11 drop configuration is designed to help young hitters dominate the batter's box with its lightning-fast swing weight and effortless bat control. Despite its lightweight feel, this bat packs a serious punch with its massive 2 5/8" barrel diameter, perfect for launching missiles when you make solid contact.
The key to the CATX2's performance lies in Marucci's innovative materials and engineering. The AZR Alloy barrel undergoes a state-of-the-art 3-stage thermal treatment process, creating a more responsive microstructure within the metal. This results in a "hotter" bat with a larger sweet spot, providing more forgiveness on off-center hits and overall better performance at the plate. The multi-variable wall design further enhances the sweet spot while incorporating thinner walls for a more forgiving feel on off-center swings.
To offer even more control, the CATX2 features a ring-free barrel construction, eliminating dead zones and maximizing barrel flex for a trampoline effect that boosts batted ball distance. The precision-balanced barrel ensures a lower Moment of Inertia (MOI), resulting in a more balanced feel and greater swing control, particularly beneficial for younger players still refining their swing mechanics.
Marucci prioritizes young players' comfort with the CATX2, featuring a patent-pending liquid-gel dampening knob that absorbs vibrations on contact, reducing hand sting and creating a smoother, more solid feel. The professionally inspired custom-sized handle taper offers a more ergonomic fit, enhancing comfort and bat control, while the micro-perforated soft-touch grip with extra tack improves feel and control, allowing hitters to focus on making solid contact.
Backed by a full twelve-month manufacturer's warranty, the Marucci CATX2 -11 USA Baseball Bat is an investment in developing swing speed and power while prioritizing control for young players. With its balanced swing feel and advanced technology, it's the perfect tool for young hitters looking to elevate their game.
