Mike, you said "Any ball not caught in flight by the catcher is considered a D3K (or U3K, as I prefer) when applicable."
By "when applicable" I assume you mean if the batter swings and misses the ball for strike 3 or he/she is caught watching strike three cross the plate. In the latter case, the umpire would have to have ruled the pitch was a strike.

"When applicable" means that the pitch WAS a third strike and the occupation status of 1B was favorable for the conditions of a batter advancing on a U3K.
