Fold arms so sweet spot reaches 6 inches on inside edge of plate at the knees.
Extend arms/bat so that sweet spot reaches 6 inches past outside edge of plate at the knees.
Comfortable after a few swings? Thats the advice where he should stand, but it is not mandatory.
You said the plate is 17 inches and that you call two balls on each side. That's 29 if you call the width of a ball three inches. That's what you said.

And please pass on the where-a-hitter-should-stand stuff. In fact, pass on all the hitting stuff.
