On every pitch I have a habit of opening my eyes a little wider to see the ball leave the pitchers hand and cross the plate area and into the glove.

My training is perhaps getting in the way. I went to the academy where we were taught to see the ball into the catcher's mitt. Hearing was never mentioned in the approach to good timing. Seeing was everything. I don't consider "hearing" to be part of timing.
