Third strike

[Falcons]

What is the correct verbiage for home plate umpire to use when third strike is dropped and catcher has to throw to 1b for the out?

 

[The Man In Blue]

Called strike ... "Strike!" or "Strike three!"
Swinging strike ... say nothing.

There is no special verbal call.

The physical call is to signal the strike and then give a safe sign.

When it is an uncaught third strike and the batter cannot run (first base is occupied), I do give a loud and repeated "The batter is out!"

Rub it in why don’t you…

At least I don't say, "GO SIT DOWN!"

Unusually I do a simple “strike 3”, take my mask off and wait for something to happen. Sometimes the players just stand there, sometimes the batter starts toward the dugout. It’s usually a few seconds before anyone reacts that the batter-runner (yes, they are now the batter-runner) hasn’t been put out and we have a live ball. Sometimes a coach or parent will start yelling instructions. More than once I’ve seen the catcher with the ball standing within tagging distance from the batter-runner realize they need to make a play and promptly fire it into right field.

To be fair, I call a lot of community 12u and 10u.

Promptly fire it into right field...

Last weekend we had a player get on base 3 times from DTS. She scored twice on those. She is a catcher.

You mean it’s not to take so long to call strike 3 that the batter is half way to first and the runner on first assumes it’s a walk and starts jogging to second and gets thrown out. This was our high school game last night.
