In the minor leagues of professional baseball youa re taught to say one ball and one strike (or whatever the correct number of balls/strikes is).
That's what is taught. Is that what is used?

In any event, I'd use whichever the "big dogs" in your assoication use.

Also, there is no such thing as a "full count", that is actually a media term.
Agreed.

Finally, when you have either two balls or two strikes it is always indicated with the index and ring finger and never the index and pinky fingers.
I'm sure you mean "index and middle finger"
