Anyone have any thoughts on helping a player throw downhill more? What he can do to throw downhill?

You can adjust body tilt and/or arm angle so you are throwing more over the top and make sure you are taking more of a "tall and fall" approach vs a "drop and drive" approach.
You have to be careful, though. Generally, you don't want to get away from whatever your natural throwing motion is. For example, if you are most comfortable with a 3/4 arm angle, you will not be a downhill thrower but you may find that you have good sinking action. Why do you feel you need to throw more downhill and what does your delivery look like now? Are you working with a pitching instructor?
Many times folks throw out the phrase "throwing downhill" as it relates to a pitcher missing his spots high. It is not necessarily a result of needing to get on top of the ball to move the command lower, and as cabbagedad indicates, everyone has their natural arm slot...try to change it and you may injure yourself.
Normally missing high is a result of being late into front foot strike, therefore the arm is releasing the ball further behind than optimal for that given arm slot. It is not fixed by changing the arm slot, but rather by finding out why your arm is late. Without video it is hard to tell.
As noted, I'd seek out a qualified pitching instructor that will not tell you to fix this, you need to get more on top of the ball, but rather find out why you are late going into ball release. Many instructors will give verbal cues like, "get on top of the ball" or "throw more downhill" in an effort to get the ball down, however it is almost 100% of the time caused by something in the mechanics that happened way before ball release.
