Its funny you mention a ding at an evaluation because just this past spring, I was dinged on an eval during an NCAA game for not using the mechanic described by Steve. I was told that the reason we do this is to avoid confusion on the field. I guess it must depend on what your evaluator wants.
I equate this to giving a 'safe' mechanic when a batted ball passes close to a runner but there is no interference. By initiating these mechanics, don't you think it heads off any questions like, "He caught that pitch." and "That's interference."
