Marucci CAT9 Connect Pastime BBCOR Bat (-3)

The two-piece CAT9 Connect Pastime bat is crafted for ultimate power and end-loaded feel with a carbon composite handle created with strengthened, thermally treated AZR alloy barrel. Our one-of-a-kind outer locking system creates a stiff, secure connection, while dismissing virtually all vibrations on contact for your strongest, smoothest swing yet.

Crafted For Excellence

• Utilizing a three-stage thermal treatment process, our new AZR alloy offers a more responsive microstructure for better feel, more forgiveness and performance while maintaining the same strength as its predecessor
• One-of-a-kind, OLS, Outer-Locking System, attaches the barrel to the handle from the outside in
• Using a Longitudinal Groove System, LGS, across the thickest section of the barrel wall allows for excess weight reduction while also increasing flexibility for an increased performance zone
• Multi-variable wall design creates an expanded sweet spot and thinner barrel walls that are more forgiving after off-centered contact
• Ring-free barrel construction allows for more barrel flex and increases performance with no "dead" spots
• Power-loaded barrel results in a higher M.O.I. and end-loaded feel for effortless power
• Two-piece hybrid design combines a carbon composite handle with the AZR alloy barrel designed for power
• Professionally inspired handle features a removable taper and an ergonomic knob shape for more top-hand control and comfort
• Micro-perforated soft-touch grip with extra tack improves feel and control
