I would think you would have to penalize the offense because they had an illegal player on the field during a live ball situation. The player on the field is not a CR until play has stopped and time has been given. The PU had his back turned and was walking back to the plate and saw nothing. Poor mechanics I think.

If there was no interference, the team should be warned, and if the offense is repeated, the offending player is restricted to the bench. 3-6-6.
The umpire can't call what he didn't see. The PU should not have had his back to the field during live play. Tough for you, poor for him.
