I can only speak for myself. But I gain my timing. It helps me slow down and take a second before I call a pitch. Now, this is not just because of the "head turning," but it is because of the way I have to get in position to turn my head.
I only turn my head personally for just a second. I do it when it is clear that nothing else is going to happen. I do it to help my timing and it works for me.

Mr. Rutledge: All right, let's say you use the scissors or heel/toe or balanced stance [not the GD: I understand]. How do you hold your head so that turning it
after the pitch helps your timing?
Wait, I'm misreading. How does
preparing to turn your head after you call the pitch help you "slow down"?
From my point of view, it's hard enough to track the ball. I'd never be able to track my head as well.
Oh, I'd also be interested in knowing how you can determine
in advance that "nothing else is going to happen."
