The signals are shown in the rule book.

Luke,
Why would a baseball umpire need a picture to tell him "how to signal." What do I look like, an ASA girls softball robot?

That is the same thing I was thinking. In my association, we have pointers, and we have hammerers. We don't let the Fed dictate to us what a strike call is supposed to look like. We celebrate individual style, as long as it stays within accepted mechanics. No robots here. I point on called strikes, use a nonchalant hammer for swinging strikes, and on strike three not caught, I point twice in the manner of selling a foul call, in one quick, emphatic motion. I have yet to have anybody be confused by it.
