So, assume the called IP was a swinging strike. As the BU or PU, the mechanic is to call a DB, and advance any runners. Remember, runners are entitled to advance without liability to be put out on an IP. (NFHS 8.4.3.d)
I see your point tho... WHEN does the ball become dead? After the batter doesn't make contact, or at the conclusion of playing action (which could be considered after F2 throws down.).
BTW, the end of your second sitch: you'd better not announce that the pitcher is illegal; the pitch was.
