Reply to "Safer Intentional Walk"

Coach 2709 gave the best answer in my opinion. The pitch must cross the foul lines. I was not proposing that the fielder play in foul territory; that is clearly illegal, except for the catcher. It still seems like a viable alternative to me in a league that does not play what we called speed-up rules. Seems to me that the fielder could just step across the foul line after the pitch is released. For those of you who do not understand why I asked the question, I would assume you have never seen a pitcher throw a wild pitch in that situation or throw a pitch too close to the plate which allowed the batter to hit it.
