I'm failing to see what you're talking about.
What, specifically, looks altered to you? Be specific, as the difference between a batter stepping into the batter's box with an illegal bat versus an altered bat is huge. If I'm going to use the term "altered" in front of a player, I'd better be damn sure I can point to something specific and say, "this is where it's been altered."

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
