Reply to "Shaved and Rolled Bats"

Even at HS level this could be an issue.  NFHS has clearly stated that it is the manager's responsibility to verify the equipment is compliant under the rules.   As an umpire we ask simply "are all your players legally and properly equipped?"   Coaches give an affirmative reply ... game on.  It is a shame that some players / parents cheat.  I can understand why ... look at the benefits vs the cost.  Possible 10's of thousands of dollars in scholarships ... 100's of thousands if MLB draft pick.  What are the chances of getting caught - slim.  I believe NY has a wood bat only law for HS level baseball.  I am not sure if this applies to college teams playing within their jurisdiction.  Maybe that was repealed with BBCOR changes.
