Description
Until last season, Marucci was always known for their wood bats. Then the CAT 5 burst onto the scene and became one of the top aluminum bats on the market. This year, Marucci raises the stakes again with unbelievable new technology. Through endless field testing with the top players in America, Marucci discovered that vibration in the top hand is the most common complaint amongst amateur baseball players. Marucci has acquired a patented new anti-vibration technology that blows the competition away. They hired noted bat scientist Dr. Daniel A. Russell to do some lab testing against the top bats on the market. The results were shocking. He found that the vibration dampening rate on the CAT 5 is 5.6 times higher than the next closest competitor! For the player, this means that they can step up to the plate worry-free with one thing on their mind; blasting one over the fence! This is literally the smoothest swinging bat ever produced. Experience the difference of this one-piece bat made from the most responsive alloy in the industry. Marucci: Game Tested. Player Approved. The Marucci CAT 5 carries a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

will the marucci cat5 bats be able to be used for usssa next year for 13 under? treva dd
The 2011 Cat 5 does do not have the stamps on them. In most leagues they might not be able to be used next year if the league mandates that the stamps are on the bats. The 2012 Cat 5"s will have the stamps on them.
Brett
when will 2012 marucci cat 5 come out the dawg
These bats should be coming out in the middle of the summer. Marucci has not given us a specific date, only that they will be here in the middle of the summer.
Brett
My son is 7 years old and swings a 29" easton omen , what size marucci cat 5 would he swing? He is 53" tall and weights 71 pounds. hmsiv
I 29 inch bat is typically recommended for players with your son's height and weight. I think he would do well with the 29"19oz Cat 5.
Brett
What age would you recommend the marucci bat for? Big Guns
Youth bats are most commonly used by players between the ages of 7 and 12. It depends on the height, weight, and strength of the player to determine exactly which size would be best.
JH
How does the 2012 Cat5 compare to the Omen and the CF4 as far as pop? RM
The Omen and CF4 are going to be the hottest bats on the market. The MYB2 is going to be a bat that is going to have good pop and durability. This is a bat that will work really well.
Todd
I'm going to play for a 12u usssa team next summer. I'm thinking about the this Marucci. I'm more of a contact hitter. Will this bat be a good choice? Turbo
Yes, the Marucci Cat5 is a great choice for contact hitters, it is a balanced bat with quite a bit of pop.
Sean
What type of bat do I need for my son next year? He will play in the Bronco class at a Pony League sponsored Field. Will they be goin to BBCOR bats and are all BBCOR bats drop 3? Or will this only apply to Pony and up? And just as important, what diamater of bat do i need? Got a Marucci 32" drop 3 but it is too big for him. want another Marucci for the next two years. Mike
All leagues have different requirements depending on the age group. BBCOR bats are all -3 and have 2 5/8" barrels. They are normally used for High School and College, but some leagues do require a BBCOR bat for Junior High age groups. The youth models are 2 1/4" barrels. Check with your league official for exact rules.

I thought i made my desicion on the Easton S1 but when I saw this bat.... Which one? Im a contact hitter. MJK
A two-piece bat like the S1 will have more flex and will be better suited for a contact hitter. Both are great bats though.
John
Will Marucci be making a big barrel version of the Cat 5 squared in a -10? My son plays 10U travel ball and has been swinging a big barrel bat for almost two years. Hit a demo today and loved it but wanted a big barrel. TJ
They do make a big barrel version, but they will only be making them in a -8.
Kara
Where is it made? mimi
The Marucci Cat 5 is made in China.
Kara
will there be anything composite? goodlookin
The Marucci Cat 5 is 100% alloy. No composite.
Derek
My son is 9 yrs. old. He is 55 inches tall and weighs 85 lbs. what size and weight marucci cat 5 would he need. THANKS Arnold
I would suggest looking at a 29-30" bat. That is the recommended size for that age range.
KG
I'm looking at buying a 2011 Cat 5 Squared -10 Yth Bat, I need to know if these have the new stamp thats needed to be legal for dixie youth baseball?? If not, what year models will have it?? jkappus
If it is a 2011, I doubt it will be considered legal for 2012. My suggestion to be safe, is get a 2012 model, all of those will meet all of the new rulings.
Linda
Big barrel or not? My son is playing on a 10U team and I am looking at the marucci CAT5 and we are trying to decide on which barrel to buy? Big or not, what do you think? Baseball Don
First thing I would do is check with the league to see what is allowed. I would hate to suggest the big barrel, then find out he is only allowed to use the small barrel. If he is allowed to use the big barrel, that would be my suggestion.
Linda
I would like to know which bat is recommended, between this cat5 or nanotek xp, (30/20 both) my 9 year old son, has a good swing but needs a little confidence, thanks. Andre
The Cat 5 would have an edge over the Nanotek. It is very lightweight and balanced.
K.B.
I am looking for a youth albine bat and was told marucci bought them out. Is the marucci cat -5 similar version? mo
I don't know much about Albin bats, but I have heard of them. Based on the limited information I have about Albin bats, is that they feel great to swing, and they pop is comparable to middle of the line Easton or Louisville bat. Based on that, I would say the Cat 5 is a notch or two above the Albin in terms of performance.
TJ
Can u tell me what bat would be the best for my son. He is 10 years old fixing to turn 11 and weighs 100 pounds. HE is 4 foot 10 inches. Thankyou lori
In order to give the most informed answer, we need more info. Is he required to use the 2 1/4" inch bat or is he allowed to use the big barrel?
Linda
I have a 7 yo who will be in his 2nd season of machine pitch. I want to purchase a Marucci bat (28 inch), but I am unsure of the 2 1/4 diameter or the big barrel. Both have the league requirements of the 1.15 BPF. Suggestions for which bat is better for him for ages 7-9? bg
Whether he uses a 2 1/4" or 2 5/8" depends on the league he plays in, and what they allow.
Linda
Is this bat a 2012 little league approved bat? Bonnie
Yes. This is approved for little league.
KG
I need a 100% alloy bat for my sons league it can't have any composite material at all or any type of hybrid. Is this bat all alloy and does it say so on it because some of the umps check and if there's ant doubt they say the bats no good so I need to no before I buy it. Chris
The CAT 5 is a one piece all alloy bat.
Kara
Is the Cat 5 legal in USSSA play? I do not see the required stamp above the grip. Thank you, TT Tommy
This particular one only has the 1.15 stamp on it. Not the official USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp. The most recent info given to us, says this bat is being grandfathered in for 1 yr. Then in 2013 all bats will be required to have the official stamp.
Linda
We need to have a bat that is USSSA approved and a BPF of 1.15. Is the Marucci Cat 5 :MYB2 Youth approved for this? How about the Marucci Black Youth? Schae
both bats will be marked bpf 1.15 but do not have the USSSA stamp on them
Sean
Will the 2012 marucci cat 5 have the approved stamp on it? Claudia
No. It doesn't have the USSSA required stamp.
Kara
will we be able to order now?And can these be used in little league now? ryan
The CAT 5 is available for purchase today and will ship same day if you order before 8 pm CST. It is approved for Little League.
K.B.
Is this bat USSSA certified Sylvia
No,this bat does not feature a USSSA certification.
Shelbe
does the bat have a 1.15 usssa stamp on this bat model hot sauce
No, it doesn't have the USSSA stamp.
Kara
Is this bat Little League approved? vic
Yes. This bat is Little League approved.
Kris
Is this bat approved for dixie youth in 2012? coach c
Yes, this bat is approved for Dixie Youth in 2012.
Kris
Is this a legal bat for Little League? LL Kid
This bat is legal for use in the 2012 season. It does not feature the new USSSA stamp that is being required in 2013, but it does feature the old stamp that is being grandfathered in for this season.
Jennifer
Is it stamped to indicate BPF 1.15. Jake
This bat is stamped with "BPF 1.15". This bat is legal for use in 2012 since the stamp is being grandfathered in for the 2012 season. However, in 2013 all bats are going to be required to have the new USSSA stamp.
Jennifer
Is this considered a big barrel bat like the other Marucci Cat 5 models? Would this bat be appropriate for my 8 year old 8U player? Ryan
The MYB2 is not a big barrel bat. It is considered a small barrel. This size bat can still be used by an eight year old player.
KB
Just to verify.....this bat contains no composite material (barrel or handle) correct? Joe
That is correct. None of the Marucci Cat 5 models contain any composite material in the barrel or the handle.
Tom
Does this bat have the USSSA sticker? twade
Unfortunately, the MYB2 does not have the new USSSA stamp that will be required in 2013
Tyler
Does this bat come in at 30-19? kali
This bat does not come in that size. It is a -10 bat, therefore a 30" 19oz will not be available. The closest size this bat will come to that is 30" 20oz.
