Let's assume R1 comes way off 2B on the pitch. Batter tries to hold up and PU calls BALL. F2 asks PU to check with BU. While everyone is looking to PU for his call, R1 breaks for 3B and beats the throw from a surprised F2.
Legal?

WMB,
Since the desired procedure to ask for help is "removing your
mask, step out from behind the catcher and seek the help required",
I got time. Just like cleaning off HP. When you go back behind the
plate with mask on, and have the attention of the pitcher give the
count to reinforce the call.
