"Anyone who watched Bonds at the plate in the latter part of his career should know that his batting eye was almost unhuman. I've never seen a player decide before a pitch was even thrown whether or not he was even going to start his swing."
That's not as important as what the umpire perceives.
I think Ted Williams had the actual best batting eye ever. Bonds had a great eye, but as noted pitchers wouldn't pitch to him. And if the pitcher hit a corner and Bonds took it, was that called a strike? No.
