The offensive coach has the option of the result of the play, or the penalty for the illegal pitch. Since the runner was thrown out at 3rd it would not be in their best interest to take the result of the play, so more than likely they would take the illegal pitch penalty, a ball on the batter, and runner advances 1 base, or would be put on 2nd in this particular play.
If the runner had been safe at 3rd, the coach could then take the result of the play, the illegal pitch would be nullified and the pitch would be either a ball or strike on the batter depending on its location, if batter swung at it etc.
