He did mention to me that he noticed more movement in his ball from that distance.
You might want to consider having him pronate his forearm (or at least keep it neutral) through the release point. It sounds like he's supinating his forearm through the release point, which can cause movement.
One thing I do to make sure my guys aren't supinating is draw line all the way around a ball so that the line runs parallel to their fingers when held with a 4-seam grip. If you release the ball with a neutral forearm angle, you will see a vertical line as it travels to or from you. If you're supinating the forearm as you would with a slider or cutter, you won't see a clear vertical line since the ball isn't rotating on a horizontal axis.
