In an official game of baseball (as opposed to an exhibition), you really can’t pull all of the fielders off of the field. The other seven guys would have to stand somewhere in the field of play. Only the catcher is allowed to stand in foul territory before the ball is pitched.

Throwing an 81-strike game would be difficult even if you went and had Randy Johnson facing a lineup of American Legion hitters. Eventually, he’d miss with a pitch. His control isn’t that perfect.
If a control pitcher liked Maddux tried it, eventually someone would make contact of some kind. A bunt would be possible.
