I'll say "ball, that's in" or "ball, that's out" when the pitcher hits a spot in or out, but I don't make any visual announcement and the audible is just for the hitter and catcher. Catchers tend to know when it's too far in or too far out while they're trying to get the guy to chase, or when he just misses his spot entirely. When he sticks a pitch that he thinks is there, I see no reason not to work with the players involved.
I think the PU being mic'ed just makes it seem like more of an announcement, but maybe we're watching a different game. I'm watching Florida/South Carolina and the PU is working the scissors.
