Would you also allow the batter to step back in having just swung at strike three? i simply call all 4 balls the same and like you only differ on the third stike looking. However, if the batter doesn't move in the correct direction - I'll say (just loud enough for the batter and catcher to hear) "that's three" or "that's four" and they take off.
