On a 3rd Strike Not Caught where the batter can not run to 1st, our association suggests using the Out Knock and verbalizing Batter’s Out.

Side note: For 3rd SNC’s where the batter can run, our association suggests we hold our right fist above our head, with no verbalization, until the runner is either safe or out. I don’t like this because may times it is thought I am indicating the batter is out.
