Unfortunately, NCAA softball still requires us to do so. I'm just trying to gain an understanding on which bats do we check. The six to twelve bats that are lined up outside the dugout are a no-brainer. It's the ten additional bats I see in batbags in the back of the dugout that the girls claim they use for warm-ups that I'm trying to understand if I should check them, or have them removed from the area.

If it's an NCAA game:
Walking into the dugout for bat check...
Crew: "Coach those bats that are in the batbags, we'll need them taken out and brought over here so we can check them."
Coach: "Those are [fill in the reason/excuse/rationale] bats, we don't use those in a game."
Crew: "Coach, if they're not going to be used in the game, by rule, you're going to have to remove those bats from the dugout for both games."
Coach: "OK Blue, we'll get them out of here right now."
Crew: "Thank you, coach."
Piece of cake......begin your bat check.
