Is it possible that he meant "suspend play immediately after the pitch is done, and then warn the pitcher?" Possibly emphasizing that the umpire should nip it in the bud? Or was he adamant that the play must be killed right away?
If the pitcher is truly pitching with enough excessive speed that it becomes a safety issue, the likelihood that the umpire would even be able to kill it before the pitch arrives is pretty small.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
