Personalized hitting coaching — Albuquerque, NM

Find your
swing.

[Philosophy]

Every hitter’s path to the ball looks different. Before we fix mechanics, we get comfortable in our own stance — then we build a swing that’s actually yours.

I want to give a huge thank you to my hitting coach, Paddy. He has put in countless hours to help me improve, from spending an hour at a time on video calls to sending me drills that have completely changed my swing. He's worked with me on my coil, mechanics, and overall approach at the plate, always pushing me to become a better hitter and compete at a higher level.

Before I started working with Paddy, I was mostly a singles hitter with very little power. I struggled to catch up to good fastballs and often looked lost against breaking balls. Through his coaching, I've gained confidence, improved my swing, and developed the ability to drive the ball with authority. Now I feel like I can compete with any pitch that's thrown to me, especially high fastballs, which used to give me trouble.

I'm grateful for the time, effort, and belief Paddy has invested in me. The work we've put in has made a huge difference, and I'm excited to keep improving.

Thanks to the video review and training sessions I was able to learn and better understand how HLP. It fixed my swing. I was able to make more consistent power and contact with the ball raising my batting average from a .190 with 26 ABs my Jr year of high school to a .476 with 42 ABs my Sr Year. HLP works and is the true way to swing a bat

Helloo there everyone. Holaas. My name is Andre Sam but majority of people call me "Dre". Growing up as a kid, baseball was a huge thing for me. From practicing in the warm evenings after finishing tons of school assignments. Working on the same mechanics everyday and continuing to improve each week. To the last day I took the cleats off for good. I enjoyed my time playing the sport I love to death. All the memories and relationships i've made over the years and learning more about the game and how it can be just like life. That some days you could go 4-4 or 0-4, but still keep playing til that final out.

In high school, I grew so much on defense because it was my advantage point of stopping and preventing a route for the opposing team. Offensively, wasn't so bright. I've tried changing so many things about my swing, stance, and hand placements. From choking up to having one hand and the other barely gripping the knob. Nothing was working til I got to meet Paddy, then from there things had gotten a lot easier.

Paddy was my hitting coach and sometimes coach for my summer league team "Naabaahii". He's taught me so much about these techniques you hear him talk about and present. He didn't just teach me the mechanicals of hitting — my stance, my hands, my timing, how to actually stay through the ball — he taught me how to understand my swing and trust it. There would be times he would call and we would talk about my swing. Breaking down each placements and fundamentals. After he worked with me and understanding the "Paddy Method", I wasn't hesitant to swing the bat or even be afraid to striking out.

Paddy not only helped my swing but helped me with my confidence as well. To be honest Paddy isn't just a coach I met during last summer season but he's more like an older brother to me. I mean he's taught me so much more about the game and not only hitting but life itself. To helping me on and off the field. We joke, we laugh, and we can just enjoy each other's presence like the bond was already there before we even met. Through hard times, we've been there for each other, and that's something you can't really coach. I'm grateful for everything he's taught me in the box and outside of it.

The Coach

Padraig “Hooligan” Callan

My mission is to use everything baseball has taught me — the successes, the failures, and the setbacks — to help players become the best version of themselves. If I can’t fulfill my dream the way I imagined, then I’ll pour everything I have into helping the next generation fulfill theirs. That’s the legacy I want to leave.

My name is Padraig “Hooligan” Callan, and I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I’m proud to be Navajo and Irish, and those roots have shaped my work ethic, discipline, and love for the game of baseball.

I played collegiate baseball at Luna Community College, where I competed as a first baseman and right-handed pitcher. Before college, I earned a varsity spot as an eighth grader at Native American Community Academy and continued playing varsity through my senior season at Manzano High School, graduating in 2023.

My journey led to being selected for the Native American All-Star Showcase at Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. That opportunity opened the door to a commitment to play NAIA baseball in Chandler, Arizona.

Just after committing to Justice College, everything changed. I was involved in a freak accident that left me with a broken arm. It was the kind of setback no athlete ever expects, and it forced me to face the possibility that my dream of playing baseball at the highest level might never become reality.

But I’m not walking away from the game.

Baseball has always been more than a sport to me — it’s been an obsession with learning, improving, and understanding what separates great players from everyone else. I may not be able to chase my dream the way I once planned, but I can dedicate myself to helping others chase theirs.

Over the years, I’ve studied the High-Level Pattern (HLP) — the movement principles shared by many of the game’s elite hitters. My coaching builds on those same concepts while simplifying the process, eliminating unnecessary movement and overreactions that often prevent players from reaching their full potential.

I believe lasting improvement starts with the mind. Before mechanical adjustments can truly take hold, an athlete’s mindset, confidence, and understanding of their swing must change first. Once the mental side is aligned, the physical side becomes much easier to develop.

Before mechanical adjustments can take hold, the mind has to change first. Once the mental side is aligned, the physical side follows.

Method

High-level pattern hitting

PHC is built on the same high-level pattern hitting concepts that guys like Aaron Judge train on — timing, direction, and repeatable movement patterns instead of memorized checklists. I didn't copy it word for word. I run it through how I learned the game: Native American ball, juco grind, and a lot of trial and error at the plate.

Here’s the honest part: the high-level pattern doesn’t work the exact same way for everyone, and pretending it does does a hitter a disservice. Every player is built differently — different body, different leverage, different feel — so the program has to bend to you, not the other way around. I don’t hand out a single swing; I read what’s already there and build a plan around your own movement, so the adjustments actually stick and the swing stays yours.

Pattern, not paralysis

We train movement patterns your body can repeat under pressure, instead of a list of cues to think about mid-swing.

Comfortable first

We start with your natural stance and rhythm. A swing that feels like someone else's never holds up in a real at-bat.

Hands tell the story

Most swing breakdowns start in the hands and barrel path. That's where we look first, every single time.
