I suppose he could request anything. Nothing in the rules supports granting his request if he's asking me to check the OTHER team's equipment. I don't know why he'd ask me to check his own team's, but I would certainly render an opinion if he wanted to know whether a particular bat was legal.
If he suspects that an opponent's bat is illegal, that's another matter, and one that is covered by rule.
