The hand-eye coordination was there to begin with. Steroids merely makes him stronger, allowing the ball to go farther when hit.

Add steroids to me, you'd get a guy who still couldn't make the major leagues, but I'd be stronger. I could bench press more, I would become bigger.

Add them to a major leaguer, and they simply become stronger as well, which is a little different scenario, because unlike me, a major leaguer can already hit a baseball. Now the ball goes a lot further and balls that would have been long fly outs are homeruns.

No one is arguing that steroids is improving hand-eye coordination, so your premise seems a bit flawed.
