My advice first off, would aknowledge his fear. Let's face it, no one wants to get hit by something hard, traveling at a good speed.
Second, and I've gone through some of the same things with players, would be to teach him how to properly get out of the way of a tight pitch. Start off by throwing soft balls at him, showing him how to turn out of the way of a bad pitch. I just think if he's confident that he has the ability to get out of the way, he'll maybe be a little more relaxed?
