Marucci CAT9 Pastime BBCOR Baseball Bat (-3) (33in/30oz)

The rich history of baseball has earned it the moniker "America's Pastime". This game, played for generations and withstanding the test of time, demands respect and rewards the truly committed. Paying homage to the greats of the past, in order to carve a place for the phenoms of the future, take the field with confidence, armed with superior technology and an unwavering commitment to crafting excellence.

Introducing the balanced, one-piece CAT9 Pastime, designed with thermally treated AZR alloy for a more responsive and forgiving feel. Equipped with a massive sweet spot, you'll have no trouble starting a rally. Utilizing a three-stage thermal treatment process, our new AZR alloy offers a more responsive microstructure for better feel, more forgiveness, and more performance, while maintaining the same strength as its predecessor.

The Longitudinal Groove System, or LGS, across the thickest section of the barrel wall allows for excess weight reduction while also increasing flexibility for an increased performance zone. The multi-variable wall design creates an expanded sweet spot and thinner barrel walls that are more forgiving after off-centered contact.

The 2nd generation AV2 Anti-Vibration Knob features an upgraded, finely tuned harmonic dampening system for better feel and less negative vibrational feedback. The ring-free barrel construction allows for more barrel flex and increases performance with no "dead" spots. The precision-balanced barrel results in a lower M.O.I. and a balanced feel for precision and control.

The one-piece alloy construction provides a clean, consistent, traditional swing, while the professionally inspired handle features a removable taper and an ergonomic knob shape for more top-hand control and comfort. The micro-perforated soft-touch grip with extra tack improves feel and control, ensuring you can take the field with confidence and dominate the game.
