Maybe
your baseball rules state such, but all other versions and all softball rules state differently.
Mechanics-wise, if a ball comes in for a called strike and is then dropped by the catcher, I give my "normal" sell third strike mechanic and yell "arrrgh" as if it had been caught. I then wait for subsequent action and give a routine out if needed.
If it is a swinging strike, I execute my "checked swing" mechanic of pointing at the batter with my left hand and calling "Yes she/he did." Then waiting for subsequent action before giving a routine out if needed.
