Reply to "Pitcher Missing High Consistently"

Landing zone may be the issue.  When warming up cover up the landing zone after each pitch.  He can see where he lands each time.  Draw a line where his heal is hitting and force him to drive out past that line/spot.  It may only take an inch longer in stride but the longer stride forces you to push of the rubber which in turn forces the front shoulder more downward with the follow through.   As you stated above when he uses the slide step it helps get the ball down, it's because he is forcing the increase push off the rubber and hence striding out longer.

Of course pitching is so mechanical it could be a few things but try it out and see if this helps.
