I was going to say Wade Boggs (He had a great eye and almost NEVER swung and missed) but I looked him up and he only hit .266 with 2 strikes on him.
Tony Gwynn hit .305 with 2 strikes! It's hard to beat that!
All I could find was hitting with 2 strikes, not 0-2 but I'm sure there's a strong correlation.

Paul Molitor had preternaturally fast reflexes, and could wait on a pitch longer than any other hitter I can remember seeing. The count didn't matter.
George Brett was no slouch either.
Wade Boggs was best not on an 0-2 count, but on a 3-2 count.
I saw them all, on TV and in the park.
It's not for nothing that all three of them are in the HOF.

In honor of his recent election to the hall of fame it might just be Tony Gwynn, but in person any Cubs fan would have to say Mark Grace, the former 1st baseman. He would notoriously extended at bats in the seventh inning by fouling off pitch after pitch so that Cubs fans would have just a little extra time to buy some ice cold beer before sales were cut off after that 7th inning. Was he really the best ever 0-2 hitter, yeah probably not but he'll always have a special place in my heart, or liver, im not sure.

Manny Ramirez. Maybe I'm biased as a Red Sox fan, but Manny has a pure enough swing where he can groove pitches on any count, especially when the chips are down. Ortiz has that helicoptor swing that worries me down 0-2, but Manny's swing is a work of art. If I could choose any player in baseball to get an 0-2 hit for me, its ManRam.

Albert Pujols is the greatest 0-2 hitter I've ever seen. He's also the best hitter I've ever seen period.

I never got to see him live, but it has to be Wade Boggs. He routinely watched the first two strikes into the catcher's mitt, then would slap a single to left on the third pitch. I saw him quite a few times on TV. I grew up in a National League city.
