Introducing the Marucci CATX2 Connect Hybrid USA Youth Baseball Bat in a -11 drop, engineered to elevate your performance on the field and push the boundaries of excellence.
Designed with meticulous precision, the CATX2 Connect is USA Baseball certified, meeting the standards of AABC Baseball, Babe Ruth & Cal Ripken Baseball, Dixie Youth Baseball, Dixie Boys Baseball, Little League®, Pony Baseball, NABF, and Dizzy Dean Baseball. This certification ensures its compatibility across various leagues, providing young athletes with a versatile and high-performing option.
The CATX2 Connect features a two-piece hybrid construction, combining a composite handle with an AZR alloy barrel. This design offers a balanced swing weight with a slightly end-loaded feel, allowing for effortless power generation and optimal performance at the plate.
Equipped with patented anti-vibration technology in the connection and endcap, this bat absorbs virtually all vibrations for a smooth and solid feel during contact. The SDX LT2 Connection incorporates lower durometer vibration dampening material directly molded between the barrel and handle, further reducing vibration on contact.
Crafted from responsive and durable AZR aluminum, the CATX2 Connect delivers better feel, forgiveness, and overall performance. The multi-variable wall design expands the sweet spot and incorporates thinner walls for more forgiving off-centered performance. The ring-free barrel construction allows for increased barrel flex and performance without any "dead" spots, ensuring consistent hitting.
The custom-molded handle taper is ergonomically designed for each weight drop, providing a better fit, enhanced bat control, and an overall superior feel. Additionally, the enhanced soft-touch grip with a debossed pattern improves feel and control, allowing young hitters to confidently step up to the plate.
Complete with a standard white 1.75mm grip, the Marucci CATX2 Connect Hybrid USA Youth Baseball Bat is engineered to enhance your game and provide a smooth, solid hitting experience. Order now and experience the difference in performance and craftsmanship!

QUESTION: Should I order this bat with Free Shipping or Upgraded Shipping?
ANSWER: It just depends on how quickly you need it. This ROLLED & READY Bat is ready to ship and will generally ship same day if ordered before 1PM EST. Our free shipping method is just the cheapest method available to your address, which is usually a 2-6 day transit time but is NOT guaranteed. The upgrade options specify their transit times. UPS 2 Day Air and/or UPS Next Day Air are popular options for customers needing a bat quickly.
QUESTION: Why is this bat priced higher than retail?
ANSWER: After being disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the bat supply chain still isn't back to 100% normal. Many popular bats (in their most popular sizes) are next to impossible to get - as a result, we're willing to pay higher than retail prices for them in the secondary market so that we're able to make them available to our customers. Many customers value performance and convenience over price, so our "Rolled & Ready" inventory is purchased with this in mind.
