I watch a lot of MLB baseball. I mean a lot. I have heard many MLB umpires say "Ball 4." I have also heard quite a few MLB umpires announce the number after every "Ball" call, 1 through 4. I have heard them not announce any number, too. Same exact thing with strikes. Some say their strike call followed by "3," and others do not.

Every umpire does it differently. To say that it is wrong to say "Ball 4" is just stupid, as there is nothing wrong with doing it either way one chooses.
