If it's in a tournament, or high talent game, I don't mention it at all, I just call it.

I never talk about my strike zone at all. If asked about it, I just give some generic statement like " I try to be as close to the rule book's strike zone as I can, in my judgement." Which basically, means nothing at all.
I review the line-ups and ask for verification.
I cover the ground rules for that field.
Remind them of any recent "local" rule changes.
Ask if there are any questions.
Flip a coin if necessary.

That's it.
