Pro Mechanics (called strike)

[NFUA_44]

Point to the right, always the right. I hammer swinging strikes w/o a verbal of course!

Now, just for Mazz:

U3K I will back flip with a standard split, signal no catch by flopping on the ground, and then check with my partner after all hell has broken loose! I like to keep it simple. :HS

I always hammer called strikes, it looks more authoritative, and honestly, I'm just too lazy to step to the side to point , and I'm already used to hammering strikes from doing softball as well, and it keeps my eyes on the field.

For swinging strikes, I go ahead and point to the right for righty batters and to the left for lefty batters, in that case, the point is a pretty relaxed point. On swinging strike 3, I never point, I simply get out of my crouch and let the batter leave and hammer the out. On D3K, I go straight to the safe signal.

This is what I do as well. Hammer called and point swings on the opposite side of the batter.

I am a pointer - always to the right. I am in a wide stance, so I stand up tall and bring my left leg in toward my right leg and then point. I was at a MLB clinic and Marvin Hudson told me to really snap off that point and make it crisp, so I do that now.

I see guys do the chainsaw on swinging third strikes with no verbal. Is this an acceptable practice? I just give the simple out gesture (with no verbal, of course).

On a swinging third strike just show the strike, no chainsaw, no voice.

That's what I thought. Sure looks strange to see a guy do the chainsaw on a swinging strike.
