FED and OBR.
Can a batter request time for the expressed purpose of obtaining a different bat even though his current bat is not broken?
If not - could a team request an offensive timeout and, while the batter is conversing with the third base coach, another player emerge from the dugout and bring the batter a NEW bat? Should that be allowed?
Opinions?

Of course the batter can request time to get a new bat. Why wouldn't he be able to?
