Marucci CATX2 Connect 2-5/8" BBCOR Bat -3oz (2025)
ROY'S RATING: 4 stars
Meticulously calibrated to push the limits of performance, the CATX2 Connect continues a legacy of athlete-driven advancements and exceptional engineering. Each CATX2 Connect has been optimized for maximum energy transfer, performance, and feel with specific composite handle stiffnesses and custom-molded tapers. The CATX2 Connect now features patented anti-vibration technology in the knob, connection, and endcap to absorb virtually all vibration for the smoothest feeling bat on the market. Not just built better, built differently.
Features:
Two-piece hybrid construction comes with an S-Series composite handle with AZR alloy barrel designed for power
Power-loaded barrel with high M.O.I., designed for effortless power
Refined shape adds 1/4" more barrel length while adding more mass
Advanced internal wall design more evenly distributes the increased mass across the entire barrel for a wider sweet spot
Patented anti-vibration technology features the optimal amount of liquid gel in the knob and end cap to reduce and absorb vibration from both ends of the bat, creating a smooth, solid feel during contact
OLS Connection: one-of-a-kind design connects the barrel to the handle from the outside in, creating the stiffest connection available, while dismissing virtually all vibrations on contact for the strongest, smoothest swing yet
S-35 composite handle is 5% less stiff than the CATX handle, offering more whip and transferring less vibration on contact
AZR Aluminum is a responsive, durable alloy that provides better feel, more forgiveness, and more performance
Multi-Variable Wall Design with expanded sweet spot and thinner walls for more forgiving off-centered performance
Ring-Free Barrel Construction allows for more barrel flex and increased performance with no "dead" spots
Custom-Molded Handle Taper is ergonomically designed for a better fit, more bat control, and a better overall feel between athlete and bat; designed to be easily removable to fit athletes' preferences
Enhanced soft-touch grip with a debossed pattern creates improved feel and control
1-year manufacturer's warranty

The BBCOR formula provides a better measure of the bat's performance and therefore allows the rules committee and bat testing laboratories to better predict field performance based on lab tests. The goal is that non-wood bats that meet this new standard will perform similarly to wood bats. All BBCOR bats will incorporate a logo mark once certification approval is granted. This mark will be consistent across every approved bat design so umpires will easily identify approved bats.
At Closeout Bats we stock what we sell! We have a huge warehouse and are NOT drop shipping bats like many web sites. We update inventory and availability on the Web site several times a day as inventory positions change shipping hundreds and hundeds of bats. We also sell bats out of our physical store, so sometimes things sell out before we can get them off the Web site.
Limited quantities available. Prices subject to change without notice. Like we say, if it's on the site, it's in the warehouse -- just SOMETIMES it might have some other player's name on it! If you snooze, you lose, so ORDER YOURS NOW!
