I wouldnt call damaged bats as illegal per NFHS because the way the rules are written. Technically, they fall under the illegal bat rule but in that same rule it calls it a bat damaged. The rule should be seperated, especially since the penalties are different. For illegal, the penalty is immediate upon discovery(assuming found during the AB or the first pitch after the AB is over). Damaged, the next use of the bat after being discovered is penalized with restrictions.
