Question about the dropped third strike rule

[Seymour Flops]

Batter sees an obviously wild pitch and swings, not even trying to hit the ball, hoping to make it to first when the catcher is unable to catch the wild pitch. Would that be legal?

Yes,

Sure but that would be very risky. Catchers are pretty amazing at blocking wild pitches.

Technically, it is possible to strike out every single batter in a game and still lose after pitching a perfect game.

If I were that catcher, I'd just go straight to my car and shower at home.

I've seen it.
