The 2025 Marucci CAT X2 Composite is an evolutionary but welcome update to Marucci’s composite lineup. It keeps the familiar CAT composite identity while refining feel, control, and damping. The result is a firmer, more controlled composite experience that prioritizes consistency over raw trampoline, with premium pricing in both USA and USSSA.
Models Overview
The CAT X2 Composite is available in USA drop -10 and USSSA drops -10, -8, and -5.
Construction & Technology
A two-piece composite design featuring Marucci’s updated barrel blend paired with the OLS connection. The bat emphasizes vibration control and durability. Swing feel ranges from balanced in lighter drops to slightly end-loaded in heavier USSSA models, with a smooth, muted composite response.
Performance Comparison
The 2025 CAT X2 Composite is a true update compared to the 2024 color refresh. Changes focus on barrel and handle materials and improved damping. Performance gains are subtle, with the most noticeable improvements coming in feel, stability, and long-term durability rather than raw exit speeds.
Comparable Bats
Comparable composite bats include the 2025 Easton Hype Fire, the 2025 Rawlings ICON, and the 2025 Louisville Slugger Meta. Compared to these, the CAT X2 leans more toward control and feedback than maximum out-of-wrapper pop.
