A pitch is not a play.
This is only illegal if the umpire deems it as unsportsmanlike.
If you want an example of verbal interference, consider a runner getting right behind a fielder making a catch and yelling in his ear. There are others, but they all deal with a fielder trying to make a play ... and not a pitch.
