The Baseball Bat Bros compare the popular Marucci Cat8 (2019) to its predecessor, the Marucci Cat7 BBCOR from 2017. Is it worth the extra $100 or so to get the 8 over the 7?

Answer - close, but probably not.

Marucci Cat8 BBCOR - 10 Overall:
-Slight endload
-Full one-piece alloy/aluminum
-Huge Sweet Spot
-Loud resouding ping
-Stiff but no feedback/sting
-Decent pop
-Thick handle with a tacky but squishy grip
-$300

Marucci Cat7 BBCOR - 9.5 Overall:
-Slight endload
-Full one-piece alloy/aluminum
-Impressive sweet spot for 1-piece alloy
-Loud resouding ping
-Stiff with some feedback in the hands
-Decent pop
-Thick handle with a tacky but squishy grip
-$180 - 220

BAT BRO SCALE DETAILS:
Bottom line: due to BBCOR restrictions, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT BAT. Between power, sweet spot, and swing weight, every bat is going to have to compromise in at least 1 area.
Scoring scale:
8 or lower: not a fan.
9: average, middle of the pack.
10: solid bat, above average - Bat Bro approved.
11: one of the best bats in its category and one of the best overall bats of the year
12 or higher:
