No (ASA)
Speaking ASA...
I assume you are thinking about ASA rule 6-6B which says...
The catcher shall return the ball directly to the pitcher after each pitch...
however, the rule lists two exceptions...
...except after a strikeout.
and
EXCEPTION: Does not apply when the batter becomes a batter-runner or there are runners on base.
Besides, even if the exceptions do not come in to play, the effect is a ball is called, not an illegal pitch.
