This is how I handle it. I estimate that about 90% of the time, I am handing the ball to the catcher.
The one specific time that is different is the over the fence home run. As PU, I will come inside the infield to watch the runners circle the bases. After that is done, since I am usually close to the pitcher, I will turn toward her, make sure that she sees me preparing to give the ball to her and toss it gently or hand it to her.
