Call strike up or down?

Question
Guest R. Duke
Was watching MLB tonight, on a called strike HPU called strike while down then rose up to signal strike.
I was always taught to call and signal in the up position. Which method is preferred or is this a non-issue?
Thanks.

Stand up to call strikes, stay down on ball calls. Don’t model MLB guys. Watch D1 guys.

Call-and-signal after standing is preferred, but it's also (mostly) a non-issue.

I call strike while down and rise up for the mechanic. Worked with umps that do both while down and umps that do both up. Baseball sometimes gets too picky on stupid things that don’t really matter. E
