I know this is not politically (or mechanically) correct in the softball world...
But this whole nonsense would be fixed if we could get over our phobia of calling the batter out when they are in fact out. After all, we call them out in EVERY other situation where they are out... why the abhorence of calling them out after strike three. (And, of course ... NOT calling them out when the pitch is uncaught).
"Strike Three! Batter's Out!"
seems more communicative of our call than ...
"Strike!" - Silence... (Now guess the rest!)
And no ... I DO NOT do this - but I posit that if this were the mechanic, it would be better for everyone, ourselves included.
