The proper terminology is not "dropped third strike," which makes it sound as if the pitch must hit the mitt in flight.
The proper expression is "third strike not caught." That should answer your question. You've got all the definitions you need: FED 2-24-2, 7-4-1; OBR 6.05c, 6.09b
What more do you want?
