Yes you can grant a request while the Pitcher is in the Set position, but sometimes a situation does not allow for it because the Defense may be starting a defensive play and to grant the Batter's request for a Timeout would negate the Defensive Team's play and none of us want to give one team an advantage it is not entitled to have.

If the Pitcher has started his Pitching Motion then the PU should never grant a Batter's request for a Timeout.
