Hitting with the Marucci CATX2 Connect | BBCOR Baseball Bat Review

Today we've got the world premiere of the 2025 CATX2 from Marucci. And we're starting out with the 2-piece hybrid CatX2 Connect BBCOR.
This is being marketing as having a larger/heavier barrel with enhanced vibration dampening compared to the OG CatX Connect.

I can't explain why these videos aree so addictingg, I don't even play baseball anymore

[@sirmonkey1985]

so we can remember the days when we wish something like this existed instead of just going to the the store and buying the cheapest bat in the store because "they're all just the same aluminum bats, right?". maybe i'm just aging myself, lol.

[@Quakerman14]

It's the angle of the shot for me. You see pitch, contact, and ball travel. If they can get a flight tracker (like in golf), then it would be perfect.

[@ThomasBaxter]

​@@Quakerman14 You absolutely put your finger on it. Thanks for articulating that.

[@TeamIFDVideos]

its the sound, that sound of hitting a ball pure

[@Truckerdaddy]

I've watched every video since they started. Would like to see how Trace is doing

[@THESTEWCLAN]

Only baseball players can like this

[@zeiszlerchiropractic2806]

🎉IT HAS BEGUN🎉

[@SportsAre1]

Bat bros are just better than any KZbin channel

[@dadbod4life]

The new indoor field looks great. The flaps on the ceiling protect the ductwork really well. Really cool design.

[@chadrides914]

Dang watching your videos makes me wish I never left baseball for track and cross country. Here I am at 40 and now I’m having a blast hitting balls with my kiddos. We watch your videos before we go out to get amped!

[@Koukilin]

Baseball Bat Bros movin' up in the world, we love to see it.

[@NeilHays]

Will you guys review the USSSA versions of the CAT X 2?

[@brasshouse9822]

Congratulations on getting your own shop, dude

[@James-lj5kf]

By the way, I love the paddocks to connect one time I used it in the batting cage it is soooo hot and I love the vids keep up the good work

[@JakeLambert721]

Loves the videos Will keep up the good work

[@prolific-]

Can’t wait to see the new bat bros batting cage it looks so cool congrats to them for achieving it

[@MillsAmmunition]

Dammmmm son love the new digs! Congrats, no one better!

[@rydercelenza6082]

You make perfect videos and I hope you understand how truthful that statement is

[@Randy-gy6uw]

It's crazy to see how far will and the boys have come

[@TheBlaikeHobson]

When we gonna get a review of those tucci bats??? i swing tucci wood and got excited when i saw the unboxing!

[@KarterHatke]

It looks like the usssa cat x comp

[@westballer1347]

Ya it dose

[@Drive_Fast_4_Jesus]

Dude that’s sick!!!

[@loganpinner5212]

I remember when the Cat 4/5 was a big deal. Calling it X2 is cooler than Cat11 to me. It’s cool to see Marucci keeping the Cat name alive and truly well.

[@toranfuglseth7049]

Awesome new facility, ya got!

[@Stickshift03]

New indoor cage wear house is sick love to see it. You guys should do video comparing the Rawlings clout Ai and the L.S. Atlas

[@EthanFerraro-nu2xz]

best bat review man of all time

[@Stefan415]

Camera looking great!

[@DAatDA]

I've seen some college guys using the X2 one piece. Interested to see how that performs

[@TonyStark-qn4ey]

I need word on that tan Rawlings bat (maybe a icon it sounded different though) asap It looks fire

[@joshkuhnmusic]

Yooo new facility looks sick guys

[@OpalRuins]

Who else doesn't play baseball anymore, but still watches these videos? 👇

[@axlem_8]

Love'n the Jordan 3s!

[@enzovincent9898]

Best channel in the game

[@bossmanbd5945]

Where did you get that black bonesabr hybrid? I cant find it in bbcor

[@michaelbourdo4163]

One of my teammates in baseball has a catx connect and it hits bombs

[@torinklutterman3743]

When’s the cat x 2 composite or connect coming out I have a drop 8 alloy because I just wanted to cheap out so I need a connect or composite

[@christopherrodriguez-fy3ul]

Bro you gotta check out those Nike Thunder bats the Thunder and Lightning, popular around 2015-2018 those things were insane from what I remember would love for you try those out for your opinion!

[@jackson-fk3ur]

It is the same bat as the original Cat X

[@user-rq3ps8nm9y]

I mean ish, my teamate has a cat X and is looking at this bat. He looked at dicks sporting goods and felt the swing weight is a tad different

[@dadbod4life]

Marucci cat x2 connect. What a mouthful... Can you get some youngsters in to try the -10 and -8 versions?

[@KohenRob02]

Did u see the icons Ole Miss has been swinging. They look sooooo good🔥

[@user-xr3ts2cz5x]

i might get that it looks pretty cool

[@kln6562]

Always checking for Will to drop a video when I don’t even play anymore.

[@NOAH13064]

Yo I need some help on deciding a bat and what size and drop I should get my zoa broke in half I’m 13 5’8 144 pounds if that helps make it easier for a bat for me

[@SocerbalI]

It looks a bat you’d see in 90s

[@RMLEDITZ55]

U trip bat from 1995 lol

[@ickadog8276]

you should try breaking it in more then show us because cat bats are normally better broken in

[@TonyStark-qn4ey]

Should I cop the clout ai for summer ball (current gamer select pwr). Or is there some 2025 heat that I should wait for

[@noahjebaraj9274]

@baseballbatbros should also review the normal catx2 and compare it to the catx

[@philmallory8343]

Sticking with the bonesaber 💯

[@jstray2321]

okay what are the rings you used to drop on the bats to measure the sweet spot and where do i buy them? I dont even know what to google search for to find those.

[@jazfromyt]

I have a cat 9 connect 31 rn and it’s pretty dead but I really like it. What bat should I look into? Btw idc about budget

[@GavinBrady-bb3jx]

They only did it for bbcor?

[@user-ln9jk1vh7j]

That ball is hammered.

[@westballer1347]

I like the old school look

[@gstmheadshot]

So I wonder if someone can help me. I was wondering, is there a difference between the cat 9, black and red? And the cat 9 USA composite for u Trip or is it just different jobs? Cause I know the black and red is really good. Just wanted to know my brother's trying to get one rom my nephew

[@anajaja397]

Should I get the cat x2 connect or the 2023 connect the white and red one please let me know

[@cablethebomb695]

Can you please try to use the two piece composite Mizuno? It was very hot after it was worked it please can you give it a shot

[@brodyz1232]

i hope the one piece has a bigger sweet spot

[@kylesuarino4881]

Will is still truly speechless on the bonesabr hybrid 😂

[@user-rq3ps8nm9y]

Dude please compare the Easton reflex -4 and hype fire drop 5 battle of the bannned

[@shoo0872]

Will will will… another great review with a couple of tanks

[@joel_tracy1]

I just watched the video on the mt27. what would u rate that on the bat bros weight rating

[@14Telesco]

Can you link the rings you guys use to test barrel size?

[@aidan48_]

[@SouthTexasLivin]

[@grondaj_rojo]

[@middleton_]

[@okGM013]

[@Intruder63]

[@draco_franco66]
