ASA 8.10.A
The team at bat may use a courtesy runner for the pitcher and/or the catcher at any time...
NFHS
8.9.2
...The pitcher or catcher must bat and reach base legally (or earn their way on base) in order to be eligible for a courtesy runner.
To answer the OP, I would allow it in an ASA game, but if it was an NFHS game using the ITB, I would not allow it. I wouldn't consider the runner to have had earned her way on base.
