Unleash your full potential on the field with the 2025 Marucci CATX2 "VICE" Alloy USSSA Baseball Bat (-5 Drop, 2-3/4 in Barrel). This special edition CATX2 is built for dynamic athletes who want to push their game to the next level. Featuring a combination of sleek style and high-performance engineering, the CATX2 VICE is designed to dominate the competition.
Built with a one-piece alloy construction, the CATX2 VICE offers a clean, consistent, and traditional swing feel that power hitters love. The precision-balanced design ensures a lower M.O.I. (moment of inertia), which means faster swing speeds and greater control, letting you barrel up more pitches and drive them with ease.
The CATX2 VICE is powered by AZR Aluminum, a highly responsive and durable alloy that enhances the feel of each swing while offering more forgiveness for off-center hits. Combined with the multi-variable wall design, this bat creates an expanded sweet spot, so even slightly mishit balls still explode off the bat.
Marucci’s Liquid-Gel System takes anti-vibration technology to new heights, with liquid-gel in both the knob and endcap absorbing vibrations for a smooth, solid feel during every swing. The ring-free barrel construction allows for maximum flex, eliminating "dead" spots and giving you an edge in every at-bat.
The custom-molded handle taper has been ergonomically designed to provide a more secure fit and better bat control, with an enhanced soft-touch grip ensuring ultimate comfort and feel for every player.
