I wonder also if the eye ratings are not part of the problem.

Barry Bonds at his peak was walking ~30% of the time, while the average walk rate in MLB was 9%.

Mike Trout's career walk rate is ~15%, while the average walk rate in MLB has not changed meaningfully since Bonds era.

So how does PEAK Bonds & LIVE Trout have identical eye ratings? (102 for Trout, 101 for Bonds)

Ruth is a similar story. Career walk rate of ~20% when the MLB average was around 8%. So again he should be far better than Trout compared to his peers, and yet he only has 3 points over Trout.
