The 2024 Marucci CATX2 -11 USA Baseball Bat is our bat of choice for the smaller, younger little league player. Because the bat is alloy, it cannot be rolled nor does it have any rings, sleeves or inserts to remove. We offer these for sale with our barrel reconditioning service. Alloy bats require zero break in and will be on point the very first swing
Homerun Derby Bats is the first and only bat shaving company offering a 2 stage barrel reconditioning service to 1 piece alloy bats without internal performance limiting collars. Our reconditioning service improves the hitting surface allowing slightly more rebound at impact. Expected gains from the service will be in the 10 range depending on exit velocity vs the same bat stock. Granted this is not a huge change in performance like what removing a restrictor can bring to an alloy bat or from shaving of a composite bat, but a few feet can make all the difference to someone who is on the fence line. Other added benefits from the reconditioning process is less vibration, improved feel and an overall stronger, more durable product. Also, the compression of the bat after the reconditioning marginally changes and will pass any compression check without issue and will not have any external cues of tampering.
"Reconditioned" does not mean this is a used bat that has been refurbished. These are all brand new, never used bats that go through a treatment process for increased performance. Any questions, feel free to reach out.
Meticulously calibrated to push the limits of performance, the USA Baseball certified CATX2 continues a legacy of athlete-driven advancements and exceptional engineering. The CATX2 features patented anti-vibration technology in the knob and endcap to reduce and absorb vibrations from both ends of the bat. As always, the CATX2 is constructed with a ring-free, multi-variable wall design allowing barrel diameters to be built to the maximum limit, creating more surface area and higher overall performance. Not just built better, built different.
