Well, sure it is; but it is a terrible call to make.
First, when asked, you don't tell a coach that it is legal, then call the illegal pitch.
Second, even if not asked, the proper way to address this is to hold up the pitcher until all players are positioned in fair territory. At worst, call the 20 second violation and a ball, but don't allow the illegal pitch.
