Yes, but you definitely don't have it as part of your pitch call like so many do... "Strikethreebattersout" should never happen.
I would say batter's out in your situation. And might also in an unclear catch-no-catch by the catcher when I'm calling a catch. But not immediately after the pitch call - and usually while pointing to the catcher's glove.
