Nobody says, "Have a catch."
Still bugs me.

I’m surprised Costner, someone that actually played college ball, didn’t try and correct that

I watched this yesterday actually. My three year old son loves this movie. Which is odd to me because it's relatively boring from a three year old's perspective. But he asked me if we could watch it again yesterday and it's been a while since we have, so we did. He's entranced by it for the most part. I love it.
As for the OP, I always go back and forth about it. I kinda lean toward he doesn't realize that Ray is his son at first, because he's actually existing as that person (the young kid playing baseball with "his whole life in front of him" as Ray says). But then gradually he does recognize it and that's why he doesn't flinch when Ray calls him dad and asks to have a catch.
I agree that it makes the most sense if he does recognize that Ray is his son, especially the "Ease his pain" aspect of it. But then why would he introduce himself to Ray if he already knows who he is (and Ray does too)? And even Annie and the daughter know as well because Ray just told them before he walked onto the field.
