For young power hitters ready to take over the diamond, the 2026 Marucci CATX RCKLESS Alloy USA Youth Baseball Bat (-8) delivers elite performance and game-ready confidence. Built for players who swing with intensity and refuse to back down, this USA Baseball-certified one-piece alloy bat is made to dominate. Featuring Marucci’s AZR Alloy Barrel, this bat offers premium durability, a forgiving feel, and explosive performance that young athletes can count on from the first pitch.
The Multi-Variable Wall Design expands the sweet spot and allows thinner barrel walls for improved forgiveness—even when contact isn't perfect. Ring-Free Barrel Construction ensures no dead spots, giving youth hitters consistent performance across the barrel. To further enhance the feel, the AV3 Vibration Dampener in the handle reduces sting and feedback on contact, keeping players focused and in rhythm.
With a TFX Endcap that boosts barrel flex at the point of contact and a precision-balanced swing weight for improved control and speed, the RCKLESS -8 is tailored for developing hitters who want to swing harder without sacrificing consistency. Complete with a 1.75mm Soft-Touch Black Grip, updated ergonomic knob, and custom-molded hand taper, the CATX RCKLESS USA -8 offers serious comfort, performance, and swagger. Fully USA Baseball certified and built to unleash chaos.
