Usually the point mechanic is given for non-verbal "swinging" strikes. I don’t know if this umpire uses the "hammer" mechanic for his called strike, but if he does, this could have been confused with an "out" call on the runner if he had given it. Good job by the PU to keep his presence of mind to single strike then make the safe call. I guess that’s why he is a professional :-)
