I try to explain the zone briefly to him, but then he takes his bat and draws a line in the catchers box and says the ball has to hit in front of that line for it to be a strike.

I would have erased the line with my foot, and told him that if he questioned balls and strikes again, he could watch the game from the parking lot.

Or like I did last week - batter points to where it dropped and said something to the effect of "how the heck could that be a strike?" I baited him: "Are you questioning balls and strikes?" He responsd with "Yes, I'm questioning where it landed!" I told him that he was done, and he could go sit on the bench for the rest of the game.
