The Marucci CATX Composite BBCOR baseball bat brings a two-piece composite build to the batter's box for players competing at the high school and college level. Carrying the BBCOR .50 stamp, it is legal for NFHS and NCAA play, and its slightly end-loaded swing feel gives hitters extra mass working through the zone without tipping into true end-load territory. It is a bat built for players who have grown into their swing and want a composite barrel that rewards a sound swing path.
Technology starts in the barrel. The MDX barrel is constructed with multi-directional composite layers stacked for a ultra-responsive hitting surface with premium pop, and ring-free barrel construction removes the stiffness points that restrict flex, letting the barrel wall work the way a composite barrel should. The S-40 handle uses a stiffer composite profile to sharpen energy transfer from player to ball, so less of your swing is lost between the hands and contact.
Where the two halves meet, the Outer Locking System locks the barrel and handle together into a sturdy connection that cuts down on vibration and keeps the swing feeling smooth and clean through the finish. Add the 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter and a cushioned micro-perforated bat grip, and the CATX Composite delivers the balanced package two-piece hitters look for: quiet hands, a lively barrel, and a feel that holds up across a long season. Available lengths are shown in the size selector on this page, all at a drop 3 length-to-weight ratio.

Q&A
Q: Is this bat legal for high school and college baseball? A: Yes. The CATX Composite carries the BBCOR .50 certification stamp, which makes it legal for NFHS high school and NCAA college play.
Q: Who is this bat designed for? A: It is built for high school, college, and adult amateur players. That designation comes from the BBCOR certification standard itself, which requires a drop 3 ratio and governs bats used at those levels.
Q: How does a slightly end-loaded two-piece composite feel in the swing? A: The extra load sits toward the barrel without feeling heavy in the hands, and the Outer Locking System connection dampens vibration so mishits sting less. The S-40 composite handle keeps energy transfer sharp from swing to ball.
