Question
how to keep a batter from pulling out the left shoulder too soon. Any advice or drills?

Answer
Focus on keeping the "elbows down", avoiding a high front elbow and high front shoulder which can cause the shoulder to pull out. Work on driving the knob down to keep the barrel above the hands. Work on getting complete extension of the front arm at contact.
