The 2025 Marucci CATX2 Connect Puck Knob Hybrid BBCOR Baseball Bat represents the pinnacle of performance and innovation, meticulously calibrated to push the limits of what’s possible on the diamond. Continuing Marucci’s legacy of athlete-driven advancements, the CATX2 Connect is engineered with precision to deliver maximum energy transfer, enhanced power, and an unmatched feel at the plate.

At the heart of the CATX2 Connect is its revolutionary puck knob, designed to provide an unparalleled swinging experience for athletes transitioning to BBCOR. The puck knob offers a lighter feel, making it ideal for first-time BBCOR players who are seeking a seamless transition without compromising performance. This innovative design also allows players to choose a longer bat, maximizing reach and barrel length while maintaining control and swing speed.

The CATX2 Connect features a two-piece hybrid construction, combining a responsive AZR alloy barrel with an S-Series composite handle. This combination creates a power-loaded barrel with a high moment of inertia (M.O.I.), designed for effortless power and increased mass. The refined shape adds ¼” more barrel length, further expanding the sweet spot and distributing mass evenly across the barrel for more consistent and powerful contact.

To ensure a smooth, solid feel during every swing, the CATX2 Connect is equipped with Marucci’s Liquid-Gel System, a patented anti-vibration technology that absorbs vibrations from both ends of the bat. The OLS Connection, a one-of-a-kind design that connects the barrel to the handle from the outside in, creates the stiffest connection available, effectively eliminating vibrations and delivering a powerful, yet comfortable, swing.

The S-35 Composite Handle is engineered to be 5% less stiff than the CATX Connect handle, offering more whip and transferring less vibration on contact. This provides players with enhanced control and a more forgiving feel, allowing them to maximize their performance at the plate. The bat’s ring-free barrel construction allows for more barrel flex and increased performance, eliminating any “dead” spots and ensuring consistent results with every swing.

Featuring a custom-molded handle taper designed for optimal fit and control, the CATX2 Connect is tailored to the preferences of each athlete, offering a superior feel between the bat and the player. The enhanced soft-touch grip adds comfort and control, ensuring that players can confidently grip the bat during high-pressure situations.
