2019 Marucci CAT8 Connect -5 Senior Youth 2 3/4 Inch Baseball Bat: MSBCC85
Power hitters love the end-loaded feel and ultra-responsive barrel of the CAT8 Connect -5, a USSSA certified two-piece hybrid bat featuring a power-loaded barrel built with AZ105 super-strength aluminum alloy. The patented SDX EXT connection (US Patent No. 10,016,667) increases stiffness to maintain energy transfer to the ball, while also dismissing negative vibrations to the hands, resulting in maximum power and minimum sting.
