Impact-resistant, transparent, thermoplastic material consistent with the CATX family of bats - enables the display of DK technology inside the knob while matching Marucci’s standards for durability, comfort, and performance.
Proprietary PCB containing all electrical components, including MEMS accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer as well as components for processing, storing, and transmitting swing data to iOS devices via Bluetooth antenna.
Protective housing designed to withstand impact accelerations of +10,000 G’s. The geometry and materials have been carefully engineered to isolate the sensor and battery from the forces experienced during a swing & ball impact.
Fully integrated lithium battery designed for long-lasting power and performance. Does not require charging, so your CatX Smart is ready to go every time you hit. Safe for air travel.
The future of hitting is here. Designed specifically for data-driven players who want to dominate at the plate, track and measure every swing across all key metrics of power, speed, quickness, and control — in BP and in-game with the Marucci CATX2 Smart and DK App.
Track every swing you take — in BP and in-game. Connect to the DK App via Bluetooth for instant access to swing data, or store 100+ swings and look at the data later in disconnected mode. Either way, every swing is recorded, empowering hitters to monitor trends, improve performance, and more.
Take on Marucci-themed games, challenges, and more in the DK App! Climb live leaderboards, match your swing to Marucci athletes, and earn virtual and real-life Marucci rewards with every swing.
Swing Score is a highly individualized tool that expresses a player’s swing performance in a single comprehensive number, based on DK’s 11 proven swing metrics. The DK App generates a new Swing Score number for every 100 swings, so players can see how they are progressing every time they hit.
The Marucci CATX2 is USSSA-approved for in-game use, allowing hitters to track their swing performance and trends right in the game. See if the adjustments made in practice are paying off on the field!
Based on millions of swings taken every year, DK’s proven sensor-based motion technology and analytics engine provide players, parents, coaches, and scouts benchmarks and thresholds across all key metrics needed for player evaluation and development.
The amount of power – measured in watts – that is applied to the bat during the swing by the hands and body.
Captures how quickly a batter speeds up their swing from start until impact, and relates directly to the force and torque applied to the bat.
The amount of momentum in the bat when it makes contact with the ball. It is determined by barrel speed at impact, and the weight of the bat.
The maximum speed of the bat’s barrel during your swing, at a point 20% from the tip of the bat.
Projects the Potential Exit Distance of the ball, assuming square contact is made on the bat's sweet spot.
The maximum speed of your hands during the swing.
The amount of time – measured in milliseconds – elapsed from the start of your forward bat motion to the moment of impact. The DK Bat Sensor measures Trigger To Impact from the instant the player begins accelerating the bat toward the ball, until the precise moment of impact.
The angle/direction of your swing plane just prior to, and at the moment of impact.
Measures how far the hands move – in a lateral direction – away from the player’s load position at the start of the swing, to the point where the hands are at impact.
Measures the length of the hitting zone along a line toward the pitcher. It is determined by the region ‘swept’ by the bat.
The angle between bat and horizontal plane at the moment of impact.
