The 2025 Marucci CAT X2 is a single-piece alloy that keeps the CAT X feel with a few refinements. It swings light, feels clean at contact, and remains one of the most popular one-piece options across leagues.

Models Overview

The CAT X2 lineup covers BBCOR -3, USA drops -11, -8, and -5, and USSSA drops -10, -8, and -5.

Construction & Technology

One-piece alloy with a large, responsive barrel and added vibration dampening at the knob and end cap.

Performance Comparison

The 2025 CAT X2 stays close to the 2023 CAT X line with minor updates focused on feel and damping rather than a new performance tier.

Comparable Bats

Comparable one-piece alloys include the 2026 Soldier Tank 2, the 2026 Anderson Clout AI, and the 2025 Anderson Clout AI.

The Bottom Line

The 2025 CAT X2 is still the standard for a light, consistent one-piece alloy. It does not reinvent the wheel, but it does the job.
