"the catcher gets the put out for any strikeouts (as it always has been)."
WRONG!!! On an UNCAUGHT third strike, the ONLY way the catcher gets a putout if if she/he tags the batter/runner. If F2 has to throw to 1B, whoever takes the throw gets the putout. Example: F2-F3. F2 gets assist, F3 gets put out. If B/R beats the throw, NO ONE, obviously, gets a put out.
Pitcher is ALWAYS credited, and batter charged, with a strikeout, even on an uncaught third strike.
