The ball in the dirt is irrelevant. You either believe he swung or he didn't. I would point and say "YES HE DID" if I thought he swung. If it is the third strike and first base is empty or if there are two outs, you will have a dropped third strike. The batter will know to run and the defense will know to play on him. If you don't think he swung, say "BALL". Chances are you will get a request for an appeal from the catcher. You check with your partner and go from there.
