Marucci 2023 CatX Connect -3 Baseball BBCOR Bat

Finely tuned barrel profile slightly balances the end-loaded design for faster swings, more surface area, a wider sweet spot, and higher overall performance. Stiff outer-locking system connects the S-40 composite handle to the AZR alloy barrel for power and performance, while dismissing virtually all vibrations on contact.

Optimized Barrel Profile: More evenly distributed mass of the ring-free, multi-variable wall design across the entire barrel for a wider, more consistent sweet spot

Tightened Production Tolerances: Allow barrel diameters to be built to the maximum limit, creating more surface area and higher overall performance

Two-Piece Hybrid Construction: S-40 composite handle with AZR alloy barrel designed for power

Power Loaded Barrel: End-loaded, high M.O.I. barrel designed for effortless power

Balance Point: Moved to slightly balance the end-loaded design for faster swings

AZR Aluminum: Responsive, durable alloy provides better feel, more forgiveness, and more performance

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-40 Composite Handle: Stiffer construction helps transfer more energy faster from athlete to ball for more performance

Multi-Variable Wall Design: 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
