I agree completely with Mark. No amount of oil will undo checking and wood flaking. If it is a valuable bat, send it to Fred Lowman at Crackofthebat.com.
If you are handy or it is an inexpensive bat, you can try to glue it but DO NOT use regular wood glue as these do not accept stain or new finish. Rather use water activated polyurethane glue like gorilla glue and others. These can be sanded and take a finish like wood.
