With no runners on, I usually turn my head and point, keeping my eyes on the batter. With runners on, especially with a runner on third, I try to keep my head forward and/or look at the runner on 3B as I point. If it's a DK3, I point the strike, then give the safe signal. If the batter swung at the pitch, and it's caught, I simply hammer him out. Personally, I like the point for my strike call, and the hammer for my out call, there's no confusion IMHO that way. However YMMV.
