I CAUGHT A HOME RUN on ESPN with a famous YouTuber - EPIC DAY with DSARM!!

- This was a HUGE collab at Fenway Park with DSARM and Bat Boys Baseball, and I got extremely lucky! With one out in the bottom of the 7th inning, Rafael Devers launched a 95mph fastball 413 feet to right field where it ended up in my glove. Not only was this the Sunday Night Baseball game of the week on ESPN (Boston Red Sox vs. New York Mets), but Devers, in my opinion, is a future Hall of Famer, so it was a crazy moment in every possible way.
Oh, and the home run was one of NINE baseballs that I snagged over the course of the day (including batting practice), which means more money for my charity fundraiser to help kids play ball. Check it out:

So okay, first things first, check out DSARM on the interwebz:

Here's the INCREDIBLE TH-cam video that he made about our day together at Fenway:

You need to watch it. Seriously. His editing is unreal, and he did such a great job with it overall.
As promised, here are DSARM's videos about Max Clark, the 3rd overall pick of the 2023 MLB draft:

Phew! Umm, this game took place on July 23, 2023. My video was filmed by Rachel Messbauer (not on social media!) and it was edited by Zac Gutherman (@zg_films on Insta). Huge thanks to them and to everyone who participated in this magnificent day . . . and to YOU for watching.
Still can’t believe that happened! Thanks again Zack for the great experience at Fenway. Was an absolute blast. LETS GO 🔥
Listen, you said you wanted to do a video together and I just couldn't allow it to be boring, haha, Thanks for everything and let's do it again soon somewhere else. And for everyone seeing this comment, you GOTTA watch DSARM's video about our day together if you haven't already. The link is in the description but here it is again:

@mcdoggyyt0503 Thanks so much, and you clearly have good taste when it comes to what videos you watch.
Zack how many ball all time from the subway series.
11years old big fan
WE WITNESSED GREATNESS!! ZACK IS THE GOAT 🐐⚾️
Witnessing YOU guys doing your thing was also incredible. Thanks for the good times and the great coverage and congrats on crushing it. Gotta work on your velo, tho. :p
zack is a very good and nice guy
@@SuddFam1 When there is a camera around I suppose.
Holy I watch your vids
You might just be the worlds best Rafael Devers home run catcher!!! So awesome!
That's fun to think about!
This series of vids from all 3 sets of channels was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. From the very start with friendly competition in BP, to during the game and hanging out by Richard, to the story of the night with the homer, I can tell you and everyone else who attended had an experience to remember forever. And seriously, WHO DOESNT LOVE IT WHEN YOU CATCH GAME HRS ON THE FLY? I KNOW I LOVE IT!
Well, you win the Triple Crown for watching all of them. Thanks as always, Ayden.
0:54 Was standing behind Zack and his boys waiting in line for batting practice. My cameo was a quick clip walking in ahead of Zack's crew (not sure why I'm yawning). Loved watching the master at work collecting baseballs.
Famous TH-camr, love the hype you are giving to dsarm
He's gonna have more subs than me within a few years.
@@zackhample you might be right, I liked his year long season with max Clark, still very nice of you though
These videos make me feel like I am at these stadiums too ❤ it is a true baseball fans dream. So thank you Zack & the fact that you manage to get so many commemorative & home run balls is truly legendary 😎
I love how you give away your baseballs to kids it’s fun watching the excitement that the kids have. Awesome work on the vids oh and awesome job throwing a 62mph baseball. Keep up the awesome videos
Thanks! I was glad to crack 60. I think I could still throw 70 with some proper warming up and preparation.
It's actually nuts you're always in the right spot at the right time 😂😂😂 expessially in Fenway 😮😮
Fenway is actually one of the easier places because of all the walkways, but thanks!
Zack, my son and I were eating at Dave and Busters when we saw you catch the homer in center in Miami! That was awesome!
How cool! Glad you saw me.
@@zackhample If you could give my son shout out in your next video, that would make my son's forever moment. His name is Kaden Fischer.... He is one of your biggest fans :)
What could be better, spectical , generosity , love, great guys and all at the Beautiful Fenway, anyone who hates on this man is very unfortunate some how, that’s it what more can you say 👍🏻❤️⚾️
23:42 times like these make me realize how lucky we’re on this planet !! Zack you’re and amazing person and wonderful person to look up to ! Keep up everything you’re doing !
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Zack truly is a man of the people. Bravo brother bravo!!
Thank you so much for handing my little brother the ball. He was the tiny kid you handed the ball in the cup to. Thank you so much it really made his day!
You are very welcome. Tell him I say w'sup!
@@zackhample I will! Thanks again!
Great Video Collaboration! Will check out DSARM's channel and it was great to see you in Detroit last week.
Hey, same here. Thanks for the pizza offer, but man I was already STUFFED.
I felt the aftermath that night of you catching the home run and the day following. It wasn’t quite the same as that playoff game since I wasn’t actually there this time, but I really did feel it.
That's cool, and I appreciate that. This Devers homer has really stuck inside my brain for a while. I keep reliving it and imagining it, like my own POV instant replay.
Amazingni was watching the game live my son and i where going crazy when you caught the ball lol . We seen ur videos but seeing u catch it live was crazy hahaha keep up the videos 🙏🙌⚾💯#BaseballisLife
Thank you! Glad you guys were watching. :D
Amazing catch Z man. And the haters can hate all they want. You gave a baseball to a BABY! Classy mate!
How wholesome and precious was it when Zach gave the beautiful baby child it's first baseball (23:30). When the baby grows up and see this video its going to bring joy and big smile. Zack your a amazing content creator but a better human being. May you continue to stay happy and healthy and do the things you love in your life.
Looked like lots of fun. Love the way the young-lings idolize you as their super-hero! Your passion and enthusiam is infectious. thanks for sharing. (I want to go to Fenway some day)
Thanks and I hope you make it there.
So we went to the Giants game for my son’s 10th birthday. We usually are only interested in waiting in the line to get autographs from the fans. Yesterday, however, we went over to the field so we could catch some balls underneath the Coke bottle and big gloves. We had no luck because all the teenagers were taking the ball. Then I heard my son and his friend say I wish Zack Hample was here because then we would have a chance to get the ball if he gives them to the kids. People notice your kind heart and appreciate you Zack.
I really appreciate and hope you guys have better luck next time. Happy double-digits to your son!
@@zackhample thanks
Great video! I was the guy on the motorcycle who said “you’re the baseball guy!” While you crossed the street. Gotta love a trip to Fenway
Haha, amazing! Glad you spotted me. :)
Great to see Zack back at Fenway! This was an amazing action filled video! Many thanks for you're content Zack! Always love it!
Thanks, Peyton!
Zack, my girlfriend and I just wanted to thank you one more time for being so generous and so down to earth to us when we spotted you outside Fenway park after the game. Thank you so much for signing my Tim Wakefield jersey. You made our whole night, we watch every video you make, when we watch your videos it’s like coming to the ballpark with you and for that we are so grateful. Would love nothing more than to one day join you at the ballpark and be a part of one of your videos one day, and have a blast with you. God bless.
Sincerely
Aaron and my girlfriend Rhiti.
Wow!! You're very welcome and thank YOU for the really nice comment. I hope I'll see you guys again sometime soon. It was a pleasure.
Can’t believe you caught yet ANOTHER Devers home run. I remember the one you caught last year in the post season and I thought that was cool, but this one was just special for sure. Awesome video Zack!
Two years ago actually, but we’ll said!
Thank you so much! Pretty crazy.
Richard coming through once again ⚾️👏🏻
He's the best.
You definitely had quite the night. I'm glad you got to be a special part of it with DSARM. Go Red Sox. 👊
Yes Go Red Sox!!!
I'm so glad too!
Nice meeting you today, I was the teen who asked you for a quick photo when you were leaving the group of Astros fans.
What's up! Glad you found me.
Yes. I did freeze the frame and read all that! Congrats on the catch! 👏🏼
👊
Good vibes. Video was beast & great catch 😝 !!
Thanks!
I just realized my neice met you at fenway this game she was there with my sister and brother in law visiting his uncle...so glad she got to meet a legend thanks for making her day zack
I'm glad to hear that I helped make her time at Fenway even better. :)
I watched DSARM video when he went to the game with you and the batboys
Cool! That was such a great video.
Yes, I did take the time to read that paragraph at 25:47 Zack. But, I didn't need it to see and comprehend the evidence that you are gracious. If you weren't, if you did steal baseballs from kids or other people, I don't think you'd have anywhere near the platform you do now. Let me tell you, I'm an even bigger baseball fan because of you, and the positive things you do to promote the game. You deserve to have an even bigger following, so I've been telling my friends and family about you and to check out your videos, and most importantly, to subscribe to your channel. Thanks for letting us all share in the experiences you have at all of the ballparks around the league!
Wow! Thanks for taking the time, and I really appreciate the support. Keep on spreading the good word! 👊
10/10 for the collab the and the homerun catch well played
I paused the video at the message insert. Zack, it was clean and 100% captured on video. Don’t listen to trolls and don’t believe what you hear or read. Like you always say, “People don’t boo nobody’s” keep doing what you’re doing and more importantly “how” you’re doing it. And BTW, Rachel is a perfect substitute for Fenway Chris, keep those shots and angles rolling. 🙌🏻👍🏼
Thanks so much. Really appreciate your taking the time to read all of that . . . and the kind words.
Watched the DSARM video yesterday - nice collab!
I was watching this game live on tv and holy crap that’s Zack hample with a live home run catch.
Zack my man! Great video and spirit.
I dont think you need to defend yourself anymore. Anyone who's still a hater now is just in it for the hate itself. Were you a little more aggressive chasing balls 10 years ago? Yeah because you were 10 years younger and stronger and faster. I've never seen anything that could constitute you being untowards a child or other fan. It's easy to hastily type anger at someone on the other side of a camera.
What you do for baseball and mean to its fans cannot but overstated. Thanks for being a positive influence.
I really appreciate that, but there are new viewers and new haters every season, so for me it feels somewhere between tempting and necessary to periodically set the record straight. I suppose my videos speak for themselves and I should take your advice. Thanks.
Zack is the best baseball youtuber ever and catching another Rafael Devers home run is just insane!!!
This is a good example of why Zack catches so many balls. In the time that DSARM or his buddy said, "Oh, here we go," Zack was already out of his seat and 10 feet into his route to the baseball. He gets a better jump on the ball than any fan ever. Actually, most fans get no jump on the ball. They just watch it. Zack reads it (very well) like an outfielder and has a quick first step to the ball. Congrats, Z!
Thank you! That means a lot coming from someone like you who's, uhhh, seen a few balls. Hi to the fam.
I was watching the game and saw you catch that ball! So sick.
:D
I've only just started watching Zack's videos. Not only does he know where and when the odds of catching a ball are best, he always makes the play when it's near him (he doesn't drop the ball) and seems to have great athletic ability in moving over and around rows of seats. Being just a little obsessive seems to help, too.
Juuuuuuust a bit obsessive. :p
I paused at 25.47. I watch your vlogs from sydney australia and think you are great for the game of baseball. The kids love you. The haters are gonna hate. Keep going.
Thank you so much! Cool to have you watching from so far away.
Good afternoon from Chicago Zack, can't wait to show kids you snagged. Happy to see...AN APPLE IN BASEBALL GAME, KEEP BALLS GOING TO ZH GLOVE AGAIN!!!
Good afternoon from NYC! Glad to be home now for . . . who knows how long?
@@zackhample 8 more apples, not too far away. The best place to go HOME then RUN and CATCH ball!
Fenway Park truly is so good to you. The first video of yours that I ever watched was the one in which you caught two playoff game home runs there.
It's a magical ballpark. I'm convinced.
Ha, I saw myself. It was so cool to see you guys there, and the process it takes to film and get all the clips together for your vids! Great Catch!
Thanks! Glad you appreciate the behind-the-scenes effort.
DSARM + Zack = Greatness 🎉
Might just be your best video everything about this video was wild !
Right??? Thank you so much.
Bro, its crazy how you do this because I have never caught a baseball before but my neighbor (who is deceased now,) gave me his signed Stan Musial ball. Thank you for keeping me interested in the game and I hope that you continue to do the awesome work you do.
You are very welcome! Thanks for joining me on this wild ride, and that's cool about the Stan ball but RIP to your neighbor.
@@zackhample Thank you!
Zack what a catch the GOAT 🐐 in the house
Had to rewind and pause like 4 times to read your narrative on the catch. It flashed so fast haha. Awesome work per the usual
Haha, thanks for making the effort.
The fact that this dude pulls in all these balls is crazy, it really is an art !
whoa. you got a Devers ball. lets freakin go Zack! What a freakin catch! I wonder if there is any dip spit residue on it by chance before he smacked that thing out to you!
Haha, eww. Let's hope not.
Been looking forward to this since i happened upon DSARMs video. Love it
Glad you found his (and that you watched mine, of course).
When you gave that baby the ball was Outstanding! He’s an automatic baseball fan for life
She! :D
That's the game I commented on in the last video !!! Sweet snag !!!
:D
Best collab of all time🔥🔥
Nice catch on the home run! And 22:11 THATS ONE OF MY FRIENDS, WHATS UP AMANDA!!!
Hi, Amanda!
This was fucking insane, Zack. You know how much I wish I was there for it (thanks a lot Yankees, for being home that weekend). but I’m soooooo happy for you. I was freaking out while watching the game and seeing that go down. The collab was awesome as well. This was the 7th time you caught the only home run of the game. 8th time was on Friday in Miami. Hopefully we’ll get to experience the Fenway magic once again and be there at the same time although it’s a bit tougher now. I also can’t believe you didn’t mention anything about that being your second Devers homer and that magical playoff game.
Ahhh, damn, well, there was a lot to mention and I couldn't remember it all at the time, and I didn't want this to be an hourlong video. And wow, you are better than the Elias Sports Bureau. Do you have a list of all the "only homer snagged by me" games? I'd love to see that.
@@zackhampleI just made one on Friday, yes!
I've caught 40 GAME balls at Fenway including during the 1975 World Series! My dad had weekend season tickets and we sat front row 3rd base. There's a ball girl there now and a screen.
Wow! That's seriously impressive and I'm officially envious.
23:30 the smile on that baby's face is priceless!
That was fun.
Way to go, Zack!!! How awesome!!!
Many thanks, A!
Maaaaaaan goin to Fenway is on my bucket list I live deep in the south but I’m a HUGE Redsox fan!
You HAVE to do it.
Hi Zack! Love the video with DSARM!
Beautifully shot and edited video. The moon shot is print worthy!
So, what's the verdict. Camden Yards/Fenway Park: favorite place to see a game?
Thanks so much! Rachel & Zac will appreciate that. Right now it's Fenway.
Keep up the good work man I always look forward to the videos!
Saw it live on SNB, and was like “HOLY THAT IS ZACK”
Holy . . . what? :p
Love it. Just love it. Well done.
Thank you thank you!
23:29-23:40 A great example of who Zack is
23:48 🤣 I'll just let him confirm it
:)
The legend lives on!❤
I ain't dead yet.
i was watching the game and i saw Rafael Devers hit a homerun and i was like that’s zack hample who just caugh the home run i was like no way
YES WAY
Saw it on TV clean ass catch per usual. Also ur 2nd Raffy Devers HR caught I think right?
Yup, #2 from R-Dev.
Good stuff MrHample👍😎
Thanks!
The Almighty Bunghole got another ball.
Now, I can die happy!
Let’s go that was so cool I can’t believe I was on there I’m a big fan
:D
6:57 There are few things at a baseball game as satisfying as when a fly ball hits the leather of a glove and makes that *POP* sound.
Hey zack I saw you caught the Rafael Devers homerun ball on Sunday night baseball on espn
Glad you saw that!
Yep
I saw his episode! Going to be cool watching your channels POV.
:)
I watched DSARM vid because I saw you and thought it was your vid now i watched yours
Thanks for watching both.
Zack’s a legend. 92 home runs caught! 😮💨
Spoiler alert: it's now 93 as of July 28th in Miami.
awesome video awesome collab!
Thanks, double-em!
Welcome to the Fossil!
I saw DSARM’S video of this
Great video zack! Glad you got to meet DSARM. I like him so much. Keep up great work and what an amazing catch. That was tough!
Thanks and I'm glad too. He's special and gonna pass me in subscribers in the next few years. Just wait and see.
I remember watchin you catch the homer on fox! Nice snag!
Woohoo can’t wait til you come to LA!
a living legend at Fenway.
:)
Thanks for commenting on my video zack
You got it!
Epic Zack! ⚾️
So what you’re really saying is “same old, same old”…🤪🤣💜
:p
W zack Hample fr
Great job Zack!! Love your videos!
Thanks for watching. :)
Zack, you should do a video of you in the nosebleeds trying to get a baseball!
That sounds awful, haha.
was at this game as a mets fan, i can say fenway park is definitely the best stadium in the mlb, even tho the mets lost it was an unbelievable experience
Zack would love if you went to a College Baseball game next year and filmed it! That would be sweet
I'll keep it in mind.
Another banger!
King Hample always drops bangers
Thanks for watching.
I was just watching the Red Sox hit a home run and see a guy catch a ball that looked familiar. That’s when I realized it was you
You got good eyes!
Legendary video! I saw this live
Thank you! 👊
Zack just knows how to judge a flyball and can move. I’m a big goon who mainly played C, 1B and P who can’t. 😆
Haha, aww. Well thanks.
Great collab, gotta love it when content creators get together. If you're heading (I guess technically headed) to Detroit hope you hook up with Erynn.
Thanks and I did indeed get to hang with Erynn.
Next season we are having a mlb official game at rickwood field in Birmingham Al. Rickwood is famous for being the oldest functioning baseball stadium in the USA if I am thinking right. It will be the cardinals vs the giants. It would be really cool if you could make it to the game and do a video there. It’s the first ever mlb game in the city.
I plan to be there!
@@zackhample I’m hoping I get to go as well.
I’m actually at a Birmingham Barons game while I’m typing this.
