The 2026 Marucci CATX RCKLESS Alloy (-8) is built for fearless travel ball players who want to bring serious power and elite control to every swing. This one-piece alloy bat delivers a traditional swing feel with a modern edge, thanks to the precision-balanced design and a barrel packed with Marucci’s highest-performance technologies. At the heart is the AZR Alloy Barrel, delivering enhanced responsiveness, durability, and forgiveness—giving hitters the pop they crave and the consistency they need.
Engineered with Multi-Variable Wall Design, the CATX RCKLESS -8 features thinner barrel walls and an expanded sweet spot, while the Ring-Free Barrel Construction ensures no “dead spots” from end to end. The AV3 Vibration Dampener, embedded in the handle, absorbs sting and shock on mishits for a smoother, more comfortable feel—keeping players locked in swing after swing.
The bat’s TFX Endcap and custom-molded hand taper add to its comfortable, responsive build, while the updated ergonomic knob and blue 1.75mm Soft-Touch Grip bring a clean finish to this confident, chaos-ready weapon. Designed with a low M.O.I. for quicker acceleration and better barrel control, the CATX RCKLESS Alloy -8 is USSSA 1.15 BPF certified and made for players who bring the heat every time they step in the box.
