About the Product

This Marucci CAT 7 BBCOR Baseball Bat: MCBC7 is similar to that of the CAT 5 and CAT 6, only double the power! You are really going to scare some people if you come to the plate with this bat. Marucci has done a fantastic job of upping the ante from year to year and improving on an already masterful design.

The CAT8 -10 is a USSSA certified, one-piece alloy bat built with AZ105 super strength aluminum alloy meaning thinner walls, higher response rate, and better durability. The precision-balanced barrel features a ring-free multi-variable wall design that creates an expanded sweet spot, while the patented AV2 Anti-Vibration knob produces a better feel and less negative feedback.

Marucci CAT7 BBCOR Baseball Bat

My son just moved up to HS baseball and had tried a few BBCOR bats and they all felt relatively dead compared to his old -5 USSSA stamped bat. When we tried this, he fell in love with the bat.
This bat is great. I have a 15yr old who is about medium height and 100 lbs and he can handle this bat fine. Switched from an old 32” drop 3 two piece bat because he was getting jammed a lot and it had a rubbber ring.
My son loves this bat. He just moved up the ranks and had to purchase a new bat. After all his research, he settled on this one. He says it's perfectly balanced and he has been getting hit after hit.
This has been a great bat for my 14 year old son. I have to say it has helped his batting and distance hitting.
My high school son loves this bat. He had the Cat 6 last year. Our only complaint is they did nothing to improve the quality of the paint on the bat.

Marucci CAT8 Senior League Baseball Bat

This bat is hot right out of the wrapper. Son loves it and now only wants to use his Cat8.
This is the best one piece youth bat we have owned. Great for high level travel ball.
The sound off this bat is amazing. Bought a 30/20 for our 9yr old. He loves it.
Nice pop right out of box. Older son uses Cat 7 for 2 years now. The bats hold up.
I bought this bat for my high school baseball player. He had always been a standout hitter, but really struggled at the plate this past season and complained about his bats not feeling balanced (end loaded), and felt "dead". So for his birthday he wanted a new (balanced) bat.

What customers say about "Features"

Marucci CAT7 BBCOR Baseball Bat

Best pop for your buck...balanced, single piece bat that's durable and can compete with any $450 bat out of the wrapper!
It has a nice ring to it when he hits the ball. Overall, a good value relative to more expensive and newer models.
Its a bat, it hits balls. I'll leave all this subjectivity about "pop" out of it. Nice grip. Grip swells at the knob a bit so if that isnt your thing, keep moving along.
We bought this bat for our son and he loves it. It has a great grip and fit our expectations.
The grip is great. This bat is loud! Inside pitches that used to barely jam him is not a problem anymore. The exit velocity of the baseball off this bat is a big improvement.

Marucci CAT8 Senior League Baseball Bat

Great bat great pop and it lasts. Highly recommend this bat
Good quality and service.product was as advertised
We started with tee work, then I threw him about 80 live pitches, and finished up with soft toss.
He said that although the bat was the same weight as his other bat and felt the same to hold... it felt lighter to swing (his words).
Damn thing broke before the season was over. Very expensive to just literally have the top pop off. Never again....
