When I used to coach, I told my batters to always run on a dropped 3rd strike. This way they did not have to know when to run and when not to. Sometimes the catcher would throw the ball in right field, which was good for us, even though the batter was out. Rarely, was the umpire so vigorous with the out call.
We've done it in our association since Texas v Stanford in the CWS in the 1980s. Of course, it's a case book ruling for NFHS.
