The 2025 Marucci CATX2 Connect Puck Knob Hybrid BBCOR Baseball Bat is meticulously engineered to redefine performance on the field. Designed with a commitment to pushing the boundaries of athletic performance, the CATX2 Connect is the latest evolution in Marucci's legacy of innovation. Whether you’re transitioning to BBCOR or facing high-velocity pitchers, this bat is built to meet the demands of elite players.
The CATX2 Connect features a puck knob, a game-changing design that offers an unparalleled swinging experience. For first-time BBCOR players, this knob design provides a lighter feel, making the bat as light or lighter than some -5 Senior League bats. This balance ensures a smooth transition to BBCOR without sacrificing performance. The puck knob also allows players to opt for a longer bat, maximizing reach and barrel length without compromising control. This results in more coverage, more power, and more speed, enabling you to dominate at the plate.
Built with a two-piece hybrid construction, the CATX2 Connect combines an S-Series composite handle with an AZR alloy barrel. This combination creates a power-loaded barrel designed for effortless power and increased mass, perfect for players who want to maximize their hitting potential. The advanced internal wall design evenly distributes the increased mass across the entire barrel, expanding the sweet spot and delivering consistent, powerful contact.
To enhance your hitting experience, the CATX2 Connect is equipped with Marucci’s Liquid-Gel System. This patented anti-vibration technology is featured in the knob, connection, and endcap, reducing and absorbing vibrations from both ends of the bat. The result is a smooth, solid feel with every swing, giving you the confidence to perform at your best. The OLS Connection, which connects the barrel to the handle from the outside in, creates the stiffest connection available, eliminating virtually all vibrations for the strongest, most comfortable swing.
The S-35 Composite Handle is designed with input from players and performance data, offering 5% less stiffness than the CATX Connect handle. This provides more whip and transfers less vibration on contact, allowing for greater control and a more forgiving feel. The ring-free barrel construction allows for more barrel flex and increased performance, ensuring there are no "dead" spots.
The CATX2 Connect also features a custom-molded handle taper, ergonomically designed for each weight drop to offer a better fit, more bat control, and an overall improved feel between the athlete and the bat. The enhanced soft-touch grip adds comfort and control, ensuring a firm grip during intense moments.
