Not to whip a dead horse,
"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 the strike just as I did the first and second strike. If it is a called third it is more demonstartive but means the same thing.
No, I have never said, "Batter's Out"
Weak kneed analogy:
If I am a BU and the Batter-runner is out by ten feet I have never said, "He's Out!" or "Out" that is a given -- I simply signal the out.
I am not sure this fits with what we are talking about but IT IS another time that you do not verbalize the out.
