If a batter swings and misses the 3rd strike and it's caught by the catcher, do you not signal and vocalize the batter out?

I signal and vocalize that the batter is out. If it is dropped and the runner cannot advance to 1st by rule, I will vocalize that the batter is out.

To each his own.

I thought it is our job to call fair/foul, balls/strikes, safes/outs.

Why would you not call an out when you have one?

A batter is out when_ (b) A third strike is legally caught by the catcher;
(c) A third strike is not caught by the catcher when first base is occupied before two are out;
