I've heard of a technique where the hitter finds a nice spot of green grass between him and the pitcher. He just looks at that spot until the pitcher is about to release, then he shifts his eyes up to the release point. I haven't tried this, but the source is very reliable to me.

As for my hitting, I have always just looked until I see a ball, and hit it. I don't remember ever seeing the ball right off of the pitcher's hand though. I'm not sure if i see it and don't remember or what...wierd.
