According to Virginia per our Association we are not to ask for the bats to be removed form the dugout. I don't agree but that is their ruling.
"Bat Checks: EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY any bats that were not put outside the dug-out to be inspected prior to the start of the game, do NOT need to be removed from the dug-out. This was a preventive umpiring technique that isn't supported by any rule book or umpire manual."
