It's always just the luck of the draw.

Happy Thanksgiving, Steven.
I checked a few manufacturer sites and all state that bat rolling will void the warranty. This seems to be a bigger issue in softball, Miken and Worth both state that it weakens the bat so the warranty is void. As I said in my OP, I have never encountered this issue in baseball until the training facility near us offered the service. It appears to be just another way to gain an advantage without doing the work.
