If I'm on the bases, I'll always clench my fist for a caught 3rd strike, down by my knee. If it's a dropped 3rd strike, I put my hand palm down and indicate batter's safe. I always cover this before the game with the partner. They can use it or not, I just always do it. Usually no one even knows it's happening.
If I'm the PU, if it's a called 3rd strike, I immediately call "strike", step to the left for the sell out and keep my eye on the glove. This always gives a better angle on what's happening. If it's a swinging strike, I just call "strike 3!" and hope to see what's happening, if my partner isn't siganlling anything to me.
