Is catching a called strike too much to ask?

[Bulldog]

I worked a couple games today in a H.S. showcase tournament and had an opportunity to call that "cockshot" drop strike and did. I didn’t get a peep from either bench, almost as if they expected it to be called. I used to frown upon those that called dropped strikes because I thought it was a result of poor timing. I still agree that borderline pitches need to be caught but maybe always catching that dropped strike is too much to ask. Thanks to all for the advice.
