Made for the next generation. Honoring 250 years of American grit, determination, and independence, the 2026 Marucci CAT 1776 Loaded USA\/ASA Slowpitch Softball Bat draws inspiration from the Declaration of Independence signed in 1776. This limited-edition Marucci slowpitch softball bat features historic script details and patriotic accents, celebrating the spirit of those who dared to declare something greater — a tribute to the nation's legacy, and to every player continuing to write their own.\n\nWhy Hitters Are Choosing the CAT 1776 Loaded Slowpitch Bat\n\nPart of Marucci's lineup of USA\/ASA slowpitch softball bats, the CAT 1776 pairs a slightly end-loaded swing with a one-piece composite build for a clean, consistent, and traditional feel at the plate. It's a strong option for hitters who already like the balance and pop of the Marucci Driippy Loaded USA\/ASA Slowpitch Bat and want to add a second loaded bat to the bag.\n\nOne-Piece Composite Construction\n\nA one-piece composite design delivers a clean, consistent, and traditional swing feel from the handle through the barrel — no disconnect, no dead spots, just a smooth transfer of energy on every cut.\n\nLoaded Swing Weight for Explosive Power\n\nThis is a Loaded bat with a slightly end-loaded feel, giving a wide array of hitters extra whip through the zone and added mass behind the ball at contact.\n\nDisRupt Dual Chamber Technology\n\nDisRupt Dual Chamber Technology was designed to change the game with a multi-barrel construction. A soft, low-compression outer barrel pairs with a fully suspended, full-length inner barrel that generates explosive performance on every swing. Each weight-drop and endload spec is precision-tuned for optimal flex, while the suspension system minimizes energy loss and maximizes response — a balanced blend of feel, consistency, and distance in a barrel built to declare the W.\n\nModulated Stiffness Technology (MST)\n\nMST is Marucci's unique system that connects the barrel and handle to fine-tune how the bat flexes. By adjusting the materials in key areas, MST creates the perfect balance between flex and stiffness, giving hitters better energy transfer, control, and feel. The result is a bat that dynamically adapts to the player's swing, delivering optimized performance at every point of contact.\n\n2026 Marucci CAT 1776 Loaded Bat Specifications\n\n•\nConstruction: One-piece composite\n\n•\nSwing Weight: Loaded (slightly end-loaded)\n\n•\nBarrel Diameter: 2 1\/4\"\n\n•\nBarrel Length: 13\"\n\n•\nHandle: Mid Stiff\n\n•\nCertification: USA\/ASA \u0026amp; WSBC certified\n\n•\nWarranty: One year manufacturer's warranty\n\n•\nModel No.: MSPC17761LA\n\nGrip weight and manufacturing tolerance may cause slight deviation from the listed weight.\n\nLooking for a different swing feel?
