Transport it in her equipment bag or buy a catchers bag but you need to wrap it or it is going to get hammered. We wrapped the bat in bubble wrap, then wrapped a towel around it and put it in her catcher's bag. We also talked to TSA and let them know what it was (we made sure the knob was visible thru the end so we could show them) so they wouldn't unwrap it.
I bought DD a hard case for fishing rods. It was fairly inexpensive and protected it really well. This way, we knew for sure that at least one bat would arrive in one piece if it wasn't lost while traveling. The extra bats we checked in her catcher's bag.

That's exactly what we do with two bats. No issues so far....
Suitcase corner to corner with bat and travel fishing rod. ��
Lacrosse bags are great. They are long and have pockets on the sides for the sticks they have to carry. I bought one for like 30 bucks and we still use it.
Hold 3 bats on each side very easily. and the whole inside can be used for clothes and everything else.
