There are a tremendous amount of bogus bats out there. The bats themselves are typically legitimate but used by minor leaguers or batting practice. If you are a novice collector, reach out to people with an experienced eye and have someone show you in person, if possible, what they look for in bats.
The bat itself CANNOT be faked. They are easy to verify. I would not say their are a tremendous amount of fakes out there.

I did not type every possible scenario. Sure back in the day, minor league players may have used star player bats. Most all position players will have their own bats even in the minors nowadays.

He will have to educate himself and ask others, then he will gain the knowledge. Which I said.
