CATX2 Connect BBCOR
Meticulously calibrated to push the limits of performance, the CATX2 Connect continues a legacy of athlete-driven advancements and exceptional engineering. Each drop weight of the CATX2 Connect has been optimized for maximum energy transfer, performance, and feel with specific composite handle stiffness and custom-molded tapers. The CATX2 Connect now features patented anti-vibration technology in the knob, connection and endcap to absorb virtually all vibrations for the smoothest feeling bat on the market. from both ends of the bat. Not just built better, built different.
Meticulously calibrated to push the limits of performance, the CATX2 Connect is fueled by athlete-driven innovation and unparalleled engineering.
Liquid-Gel System
Patented anti-vibration technology features the optimal amount of liquid-gel in the knob and endcap to reduce and absorb vibrations from both ends of the bat, creating a smooth, solid feel during contact.
Increased Barrel Length and wider sweet spot
Refined shape adds ¼” more barrel length, while the advanced internal wall design more evenly distributes mass across the entire barrel for a wider, more consistent sweet spot
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.
s-series handles
New S-Series handle has updated stiffnesses for each weight drop, engineered to provide the best feel and performance specific to the various ages and levels of play.
S-Series Connect Handles
Based on performance data and player feedback, each handle is built specifically for each weight drop to provide maximum energy transfer, performance and feel.
| Drop Weight | CATX Connect | CATX2 Connect |

Marucci's Baseball Performance Lab (BPL) advances the game of baseball by optimizing and tailoring equipment to better meet an athlete's needs. In a game of precision, BPL developed a groundbreaking metric to revolutionize the way we select bats.
BALANCE POINT INDEX [BPI]
The combination of length, weight, and balance
| Length | BPI |
|---|---|
| 31 | 60 |
| 32 | 66 |
| 32.5 | 69 |
| 33 | 73 |
| 33.5 | 76 |
| 34 | 82 |
BPI is an inferential bat metric that allows players and coaches to accurately understand how one bat swings compared to another.
BPI ALLOWS US TO:
- Quantify feel - "How end-loaded is end-loaded?"
- Design bats in different lengths without changing feel
- Isolate certain characteristics while altering others
- Design bats for specific pitches or zone coverage
