I've found it to be a technique that eliminates most grumbling and bad body language when the big dog makes first eye contact and points the punch at them. There's no mistaken I'm confident in the call.
I don't see anyone else doing it this way. Is there a good reason. I'm open for the barrage.

Barrage #1:
If your punch out for strike 3 takes 3 to 4 seconds to complete, it may be construed as showing up the batter. That, combined with actually pointing at the batter???
You must be awfully big and tough to get away with that, because that kind of mechanic might not fly with an angry man with a bat in his hands who just struck out looking.
