Designed for elite youth players who swing with intent and refuse to back down, the 2026 Marucci CATX2 RCKLESS Hybrid USA Youth Baseball Bat (-5) is built to bring next-level performance to every swing. This two-piece hybrid construction features a PFX composite handle fused with a high-powered AZR Alloy Barrel, delivering a bat that feels explosive on contact while providing elite-level control and balance. Built to meet USA Baseball standards, this bat is approved for play in Little League®, Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken, and more.
The SDX LT2 Connection System reduces vibration with a soft-durometer material molded between barrel and handle, keeping swings smooth and sting-free. Combined with Multi-Variable Wall Design, the CATX2 RCKLESS creates a huge sweet spot with thin, flexible walls that help young hitters stay locked in and deliver better results, even on off-center hits. The Ring-Free Barrel Construction ensures no dead zones, maximizing barrel responsiveness from knob to end cap.
With a slightly end-loaded barrel, this -5 model gives stronger youth players added drive through the zone without compromising swing speed. The TFX Endcap helps promote barrel flex and forgiveness, while the custom-molded hand taper, updated ergonomic knob, and 1.75mm Soft-Touch Black Grip deliver unmatched feel and control. For players ready to swing harder, hit farther, and bring energy every game, the RCKLESS Hybrid -5 is built to unleash chaos.
