I agree. My advice: quit focusing on the bat being in the strike zone and focus on what the batter is doing with the bat, just like always. Only now, add to your previous movement that you would judge to be an "offer" this: if what she is doing is HOLDING the bat out as if to bunt, it is a bunt attempt. Everything else is the same. If she is withdrawing the bat, it is not a bunt attempt, regardless of where the bat is in the zone. It may still be a strike (depending on the pitch), but it is no longer a bunt attempt.
