The "name" of the rule is misleading. Any ball not caught in flight by the catcher is considered a D3K (or U3K, as I prefer) when applicable.
IOW, once it hits the ground, it is irrelevant if the catcher actually catches the ball.

I have often wondered why the rules gurus don't call it "an uncaught third strike."
