According to NCAA NUS, that is to be done on every strike three where the batter may become a batter-runner only. The plate umpire should know that help is always available if needed; but, to make the obvious and known calls without reference to the "help".
Giving the signal when a batter cannot become a batter-runner will be a negative evaluation point.
