Why do catchers throw to third after a strikeout?
I have played Baseball my entire life, mainly as a catcher. This is simply a way to keep the energy of the game going. It is commonly called "round the horn", and the Catcher will throw to Third, Third to Second, and Second to Short, then back to the pitcher. It is a way to keep the infield peppy and active; sort of a very mild celebration for a strikeout. It is also done on a ground out, where the First baseman will throw to SS, SS to 2B, then 2B to 3B. You will rarely (if ever) see a throw around the horn if baserunners are on base. This is because of the high chance of a wild throw.
What happens when a runner is caught stealing first base on a third strike in baseball?

Why are there no left-handed catchers in baseball?
There are no left-handed catchers in baseball because the position requires quick and efficient movements to throw out baserunners, and most players are right-handed, making it easier for them to throw to bases from behind home plate. Additionally, the majority of baseball gloves are designed for right-handed players, making it difficult for left-handed catchers to find suitable equipment.

Does a pitcher get credit for a strikeout if a runner gets to first base via the third strike drop rule?
Yes. If the runner reaches first base, it is usually due to an error on the catcher's part, so the scoring is 'K' for strikeout but 'E2' for the catcher dropping the ball. If the catcher recovers in time, then again the 'K' for strikeout is accompanied by '2-3' for the actual putout at first base.
