Unleash your full potential on the field with the 2025 Marucci CATX2 "VICE" Composite USA Baseball Bat (-10 Drop, 2-5/8 in Barrel), designed for dynamic athletes seeking maximum performance. This special edition bat combines sleek style with cutting-edge technology to deliver explosive power and superior control, making it the perfect choice for players at all levels of USA baseball competition.
Crafted with a two-piece composite construction, the CATX2 "VICE" features a longer barrel with an expanded sweet spot, giving you more opportunities for solid contact and increased performance. The mid-loaded barrel design provides a slight end load with medium/high M.O.I., delivering effortless power while maintaining swing speed for optimal performance at the plate.
The MDX Max Composite Construction is the most aggressive multi-directional composite design, offering enhanced performance straight out of the wrapper with faster break-in times. The patented Liquid-Gel System in the knob and endcap absorbs vibrations from both ends of the bat, ensuring a smooth, solid feel with every swing, even on mishits.
The innovative OLS Connection connects the barrel to the handle from the outside in, creating the stiffest connection possible and minimizing vibrations while maximizing energy transfer for powerful, controlled swings. The S-25 Composite Handle, which is 15% less stiff than the standard CATX handle, offers more whip and less vibration, giving you improved control and comfort.
With ring-free barrel construction, the CATX2 "VICE" allows for increased barrel flex and more forgiving off-centered hits, with no "dead" spots. The custom-molded handle taper is ergonomically designed to fit each player's grip preferences, offering superior bat control and comfort. The enhanced soft-touch grip provides excellent feel and control, ensuring you're always in command at the plate.
