I guess I never saw anywhere that it says that it is part of the job to check every bat, just like I don't check every glove or every pair of shoes. I do keep my eyes open and scan for potential problems before and during game. I guess it might be good preventative umpiring to check every bat and point out illegal ones before the game, but that said wouldn't it also be good to check every glove and have each player show me their shoes and any other equipment that may be used.
