The question is how does one go about protesting a bat to an umpire? Is it in the umpires jurisdiction to confiscate a bat or to request pulling off an end cap to see if the bat was shaved?
Hearsay. Inadmissible.

If you personally see something that indicates it was altered then do something. But if you're going to act on rumor then someone will just start a rumor about every bat in the other team's arsenal.
