Padraig Callan '23 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Padraig Callan. I'm from Albuquerque, New Mexico.  I am Navajo and Irish, and I'm in the graduating class of 2023 at Manzano HS. I've been playing baseball all my life, and I want to play College baseball. Currently I have a 2.8 GPA, this is partially due to some setbacks my junior year. I got a concussion in August of last year, which caused me to miss a lot of school and ultimately the baseball season. I have earned and recovered some of my credits and by the end of the first term will have a 3.0 GPA or better, fulling college entrance requirements. My goals for this off season are to raise my GPA to a 3.3 or higher, increase my arm velocity closer to 90 MPH, and raise my exit velocity from 93 to 100 MPH. I am very passionate about baseball. It is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I work hard for what I want, and no one is going to change my mind about that. I've had a lot of setbacks these past couple years, but I'm focused on reaching the next level. It will be through study, tutelage and continued hard work. I plan on committing 100% everyday to improve as a student athlete to reach my goals and be a contributor for my team.
