If the pitcher is not allowed to pitch the ball until all defenders save the catcher are in fair territory, how can you have a pitch.
The umpire's job is to make sure all parameters are met prior to allowing the ball into play. If there is a need to call an IP, it means the umpire isn't doing their job.
