No, it is just recorded as a strikeout

YES ... It's scored a strikeout and a 2-3 put out ...

Correction:

Strikeouts are credited as putouts by the catcher According to Rule 10.09(b)(2)

According to Rule 10.15(a)(2&3) a strike out is credited when a 3rd strike is dropped, thus, I suppose it would be a putout technically, however, it would not go down as 2-3 (this would give the putout to the 1st basemen)

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

It depends, it may be the batter or the catcher but mostly catcher. They missed the pass.

Yes the official scoring notation is K-E2 (strikeout - error on the catcher)
