Like everyone above me has said, practice and keep your back arm parallel to the ground. One trick that might help you for now until you can get your muscels trained is concentrate on your top hand. When you drop your shoulder you have a tendancy to twist your hand around so that the back of your hand is facing the pitching. You want your knuckles to be toward the pitcher, not the back of your hand.Well, this works for me when I play softball. Make sure that you are keeping your arm nearest the catcher parallell with the ground. That will certainly keep your shoulder from dropping.

When you swing, use your torso muscles. Try to focus on using your torso muscles to lean your body into the swing. Do not drop your shoulder.You must practice and practice. It may be hard to change at first. However, with practice you will train your muscles and mind to bat correctly automatically.
You should keep your elbow (arm nearest the catcher) up and parallel to the ground.
Go find a photograph or picture from the internet showing Joe Morgan of the Cincinnati Reds in his batting stance. He is a perfect example.
practice hitting off a tee over and over..you can buy tees where the ball is on a string. we are creatures of habit and so just hit over and over telling yourself not to drop and using these other guys techniques before actuallly swinging. After awhile wahla.
What is week one's biggest surprise?
Strengthen your wrists, to start with.Then all that you can do is to be conscious of where and how you are holding your bat. This is about muscle memory as much as it is about wrist strength, and the only way to develop that correct muscle memory to do consciously work on it until it becomes second nature.
Someone mentioned Joe Morgan. Seeing a photo of his stance is one thing, but Morgan had a trick that he used to make certain his arm and therefore his bat was where he wanted it. He would raise and lower his elbow repeatedly, almost as though he was flapping a wing.

Think to yourself before your at bat that you are going to keep your shoulder up and you will. This works for me but it might not work for you.When Jose Reyes and Jeter finish their career, who'll win more awards.?
