Strike signals

When that happens, I'll treat strike 3 in the same manner as strike one and strike two, and then give a standard hammer signal with the right hand if the batter is put out.

My suggestion, and I think this would be echoed by most, would be to lose the "batter's out" verbal altogether. It's too easy to let that unnecessary verbal bite you in the rear.
