If the young lady is swinging that late at the pitch that's a million miles past her (and F2), is she really "striking at the pitch?"
I know what you mean, and have had that frequently lately as well. I usually stick with my "ball" call, then reiterate the count immediately after the dust settles. Only once this year have I had a DC say, "Blue, she swung at that!" My reply: "Coach, the ball was at the backstop when she swung. -repeat count-"
