universal mechanic for strike three

[TussAgee11]

I'm young, only 2nd year, and I know my teacher taught me not to say out in this situation.

Whats wrong with verbalizing this call people, other then "we aren't supposed to". It makes no sense.

We leave people, especially the catcher who isn't facing us and can't possibly see our mechanics, in the dark. Do you really think players or coaches really know the difference between your strike 3 out and strike 3 mechanic? They, at that point in the game, may have never seen your strike 3 out machanic.

It can't hurt to say it in my mind. But since I have to move up the ranks of my brother umpires, I can't say it. Silly in my mind.
