Marucci CATX2 Connect VICE 2-5/8" BBCOR Bat -3oz (2025)
ROY'S RATING: 4 stars
Bring the heat with this special edition of the CATX2 built for dynamic athletes who want to take it to the limit. Combining sleek style and ultimate performance, the CATX2 VICE is ready for action.
Features:
Increased barrel length and mass: refined shape adds 1/4" more barrel length while also adding more mass
Wider Sweet Spot: advanced internal wall design more evenly distributes mass across the entire barrel
Hybrid construction with a S-series composite handle and AZR alloy barrel designed for power
End-loaded barrel with high M.O.I. for effortless power
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.
OLS connection is a one-of-a-kind design that 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-35 Composite handle is 5% less stiff than the CATX Connect handle, offering more whip and transferring less vibration on contact
AZR Aluminum is responsive, durable, and provides better feel, more forgiveness, and 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
Thinner handle leads to more bottom hand control
Custom-Molded Handle Taper is ergonomically designed for each weight drop for a better fit, more bat control, and a better overall feel between athlete and bat. Designed to be easily removable to fit athletes' preferences.
Enhanced soft-touch grip with debossed pattern creates improved feel and control
Comes standard with a black 1.75mm grip
Grip weight and manufacturing tolerances may cause slight deviation from the listed weight
1-year manufacturer's warranty included

The BBCOR formula provides a better measure of the bat's performance and therefore allows the rules committee and bat testing laboratories to better predict field performance based on lab tests. The goal is that non-wood bats that meet this new standard will perform similarly to wood bats. All BBCOR bats will incorporate a logo mark once certification approval is granted. This mark will be consistent across every approved bat design so umpires will easily identify approved bats.
This was my first experience with Closeout Bats and it couldn't have been better. Roy was so great and reached out in advance with a potential issue as well as a resolution, before the bat even shipped! I will look at Closeout Bats first from now on before buying elsewhere for my Travel Baller, even though we are in CA and he's in NJ. Hand's down, you don't get service like this anywhere else!

Bought my son a new bat for Little League. The one he wanted was out of stock nearly everywhere but I found one on CloseoutBats. Shipped within a day or so and I received it a few days later. Bat was brand new in the wrapper, no dents, no scratches. Great experience and would keep them in mind again in the future.

Roy helped me when my package was not tracking on a new glove. Took the time to look into the matter and follow up with me. Who does that? Nobody, top notch customer service!

Ordered on a Friday was delivered next day with no issues. Great experience
At Closeout Bats we stock what we sell! We have a huge warehouse and are NOT drop shipping bats like many web sites. We update inventory and availability on the Web site several times a day as inventory positions change shipping hundreds and hundeds of bats. We also sell bats out of our physical store, so sometimes things sell out before we can get them off the Web site.
Limited quantities available. Prices subject to change without notice. Like we say, if it's on the site, it's in the warehouse -- just SOMETIMES it might have some other player's name on it! If you snooze, you lose, so ORDER YOURS NOW!
