Larry - it depends on rules being used. See 2004 BRD pages 197 and 198 for discussion. It's a gray area. For my personal sanity I generally rule in Fed and NCAA that fielder must have the ball to block, but for games under OBR rules the fielder can block if "in the act of fielding", but even in this case the thrown ball better be in flight and be close to the catcher (or other fielder). Close is relative, and in the umpire's judgement.
