Is it a CA
Just coming back from a game and my teammate's CA has the same thing going on for  the grains

looks to me like its waaaaaaay too dry - get some coats of bat wax on there and cross your fingers!

Its been oiled..
As a matter of fact i didnt put on fair amount of oil i think..

I was scared to put as im not sure how much oil is too much or too little

I'd do two coats of oil, each one a teaspoon full.

Watered down PVA would be good to repair the face then give it a good oil then leave for 24 hrs before giving it a light sand with a fine grade sandpaper. 

Can't belive a new bats gone like that to be honest but doesn't surprise me with Asian made bats, they tend to be dried to a lower moisture content.

I did not even put half a tea spoon

Ryan,

So do i need to put the glue under the grain? (Probably with a syringe)

If i font take care of this will it
1. Affect the performance later on?
2. Result in cracks or breakage of bat?

Get an old bottle, pour some pva glue in and then water down. Put the top back on give a good shake, once you're happy with the consistency drill a small hole in the top near the perimeter.  Now drip the glue on the affected area, the glue should soak through into and behind the grains. Leave to set and repeat a couple of times. Once happy give a light sand with fine sandpaper. Job done. 

BTW, I would do this before using it because it looks like it would delaminate eventually which will affect performance.

Ps. Glue the face then give it a full oil keeping the oil away from the splice area. Most manufacturers use PVA now which isn't affected by linceed oil but some don't so be careful around the splice.

That looks to me that the bat has been allowed to dry out, I would pour PVA glue into the gaps then place the bat level on its spine cover the face with a cloth and apply pressure to the face with a weight on top of the towel leave for 24 hours  before removing. With regard to oiling as linseed  oil  is used to prevent dryness and dampness ( resist water penetration ) I would recommend oiling the bat using  your fingers but do not over oil as this can IMO deaden the bat.

It's pretty much what I said although it's hard to apply pressure for that long and PVA sets within a few hours depending on the type used. Best way is to cut up a spiral grip, cut in between the ribs and slide a couple up the bat over the area. This should give enough pressure,  if not then you can wedge something in between the bat and grip to add more pressure.
