@@bendean6672 it's his brother, and he was recording while watching wasn't even looking at his phone. He collapsed in overwhelming emotion. If you actually listen to the interview with him you'll understand why, this guy's been in the minors for 11 years and his brother has been with him on his entire journey. This was a truly amazing thing to watch live.
Fr most pitchers would’ve missed or hit a soft ground ball, but he stayed with it and in the slow mo it shows how he really just saw it all the way and was able to catch up to the baseball. Pitchers can take too!!!
I’m a Dodger fan since the early 1960’s, so you know I have no affinity for the Padres. But what a great baseball moment. I don’t know why I was watching, but I recall seeing it happen.
Alex, not just some random reliever here in San Diego as he went to one of our local high schools, Cathedral Catholic High School. His senior year he was 9 & 1 with a 0.53 ERA. We know him & root for him as a local star now playing in the Show.
@Chadfield Clapsaddle bragging about a disinterest in acquiring new knowledge is almost as unbecoming as liking your own comment. You give respectable mullet-wearers a bad name, trash.
Actually it was a bad pitch as in, Max did not want that location. On pretty much any left handed hitter, down and in is a bad location as most leftys have a natural golf shot swing. But like i said, max didn't want to go down and in, he was trying to go away as pretty much the whole at bat he was throwing down and away.
I've noticed that oo, attendance has been increasing and becoming exciting since they changed their logo and colours from the boring blue to yellow/brown. Sadly it will be hard to reach playoffs in that division
That fact that most everyone was still there when the Pads were down 8-0 is very telling! A few years ago Petco would have been deserted. Not now! Even when they lose it's fun, exciting stuff.
It’s a great team with great individuals all pulling for each other and most every day someone new comes-up big. Coming back from being down 8 runs to win?…..yeah, fun resides in San Diego.
Hey, born and raised through 90’s Padres San Diego Native here... fun doesn’t even begin to describe how the past two years have been. Still cannot believe it.
Even if he never even plays another inning in the major leagues he can say I hit a Grand Slam off Max Scherzer in my only atbat in the Majors with the video to prove it. That's sick.
I just saw El Paso play the Albuquerque Isotopes last weekend. Can't even imagine what it feels like to go from that tiny stadium with a few thousand fans, to lighting up the whole Padres stadium. And seeing his family's reaction? Baseball's got me crying again :')
He lit up a lot more than Petco Park, he had my restaurant in Carlsbad bolstering! I bet he had all of Southern Californias fans watching on their feet for that.
Amazing. Simply amazing. Daniel was a 20 round pick out of HighSchool in 2011. The ups and downs, released by different organizations at least 4 times, crappy hotels, bus rides, food, wondering all the while if he would ever get his chance during 11 long years in the minors. You can tell he’s been through the grind of the minors by the humility he showed during the post game interview. Bravo Daniel!
This was probably the best Padres game I've ever been to. The stadium went wild when this kid tagged it to deep right field. Grand Slam on his second at bat in the big league's. Are you kidding me? Mad Max threw him a nasty pitch and he roped it. The San Diego boy delivers. What a game!
@@mikemantle exactly. Down and in is the easiest pitch to hit. Most left handed hitters eyes would have lit up at that pitch. Keeping it in fair territory is another story.
I am Japanese. I learned about Padres because Darvish was enrolled. It's a very exciting team and one of my favorite teams in MLB. Darvish in this match was a disappointing result, but Tatis's No. 28 home run and pitcher's Grand Slam changed the course and made a comeback. It's a very fun and nice match. But it seems that the American League has a top pitcher in the league for home runs.
Yu Darvish is the last person you should follow as a Japanese. He's a failure. He handed the Houston Astros game 7 of the world series. Follow ohtahni. I bought his jersey just yesterday. Japanese are great athletes ❤
Love his dad's reaction. Years n years of supporting his son and doing all he could to help him succeed just watched him hit a grand slam off one of the best when he was just hoping to see him pitch and get a strikeout 😆
@@pizzajona Bartolo colón with the Mets hit a 2 run homer in this same ballpark. Colón just a super fun character it was pretty awesom but I don’t think it tops this one
Big league pitchers are generally stand out athletes when they come up through the ranks, and excel at all aspects of the game. I think in the minors that they start to lose their hitting because they focus solely on pitching. I haven't looked up this guy's history, but perhaps he was just green enough to still have his bat skills. Good for him.
@@bcoldwell1 i dont think its they "lose their hitting" any more than brian scalabrine "loses" his ability to score 30. It is more like they are still the guy who can hit 500 in high school but has a bit of trouble hitting triple digit heat and mutant sliders thrown with world class command
So right on. You don't see many pitchers, let alone relief pitchers, with that kind of batting stance. The fact that he went after it as low as it was, is exciting.
@@therealbs2000 yes, you're right. I guess maybe a better way to say it is that they stop working on their hitting game because they are getting paid to pitch
@@taand4725 yeah but bruh this dude just got called up, his second at bat, first hit in the big leagues. Down 0-2 in the count off one of the filthiest pitchers from this generation. Scherzer ain't not regular pitcher that mans a beast. This ain't somethin you see everyday
Yeah. I live San Diego and the Padres. I was actually at that game and the whole stadium was jumping and screaming and cheering and it was just a crazy experience😁y’all should be prepared for the Padres this season. Best team in the best city. GO PADRES💛🤎⚾️
My now boyfriend and I watched this game together over the voice chat because he was trying to get into baseball and wanted someone to watch with who was more familiar with the game. It was one of the first baseball games he had seen and it was an absolutely incredible moment to catch "live" via stream.
I cry every time I watch this video. I get so happy and proud for Daniel Camarena, who I don't even know. I was watching the game and saw them talking with his father. Camarena's story is really touching and I'm glad he'll always have this amazing memory.

@@lukeswofford428 nah bro, the momentum they had was just too much, when things like that happen in sports it completely changes the game. It was obvious

@@walkinator5869 i disagree. High pitches are waaaaaay harder to hit. With a low pitch the batter literally just has to let their arms go and the fastball speed will do the rest
@@LorianandLothric no I’ve been following baseball since 2013 when I was 10, and yes I know every baseball season has some crazy and weird things happen. But this season just seems like more crazy than others idk maybe its just me. I mean last year it was pretty weird bc of all the covid stuff.
Im a marlins fan. I love it for this guy. I love the underdog, I live for this. TEN YEARS in the minors. Gets called up and does this? Christmas in July buddy and enjoy it!
That's not tough for a lefty. It was right in his natural swing and that's why Max was going down and away the whole at bat. That one just got away from him.
Dude completely changed that game. Runs Scherzer out in the 4th and puts him team in a better position to actually compete in the game. Insane. This is why baseball is the best sport ever.
Don Orsillo is a great broadcaster. He used to broadcast the Red Sox games and now does Padres game. He also did some announcing for TBS during the LDS and LCS. I’m still salty Don was let go by the Sox.
I have the pleasure of living in San Diego and listening to him every night the Padres are playing when I'm not at the stadium. I love listening to their broadcast.
I'm literally just looking up highlights from this season to try and relive them and I'm so lucky I was at this game ! that moment was insane ! Grish also walks it off to secure the W !
Unbelievable. One of the best highlights of any team in baseball this year. So happy for him, his family and the Padres. I am a Giant's fan, but I would not be disappointed if the Padres win our division. Wonderful to see them thriving!
Even if the Padres send him back down, he's got this for the rest of his life. San Diego native here. LOVE it when locals do this and yeah, I assume that was his dad losing his mind, he saw that. Maybe I'm biased but, this team has something special no other team has.
I remember before the slam happened, I said watch Camarena do a Slam Diego and then it happened, I spit out the soda I had in my mouth and went crazy. Slam Diego is back on tour, what a comeback win tonight! 😱🙌👏
Highlight of the decade if not century! From announcer, fans, family, everything made these 4 minutes make me happy, smile, and choke up for an hour of rewatching these 4 minutes over and over again!!!
Actually a horrible pitch to a left hander. Elevate that fastball and blow it by the pitcher who's never seen ML pitches before. Down and in to a LH is almost always their hot zone. Max is a HOFer but he does tend to give up the HR, but not usually to the new arm in the bullpen.
@@ppfoten211 the ball was 6in below the strike zone. So how was it a bad pitch? I can see down and in at the knees or a little higher being a hot zone but this pitch was shin high.
@@NIRVANA4LIFE123 thought the same but actually his elder brother. Must have been proud. Pretty sure he was more looking for a good pitch and not a grand slam. Could tell from his lips he was yelling OMG number of times.🤣
That has to be the teams turning point. That was all friar faithful wishing n praying for a way. Its a history for padres fans, we will never forget this moment. #KeepTheFaith
That Don Orsillo call never gets old. I've heard it a few times and "Are you kidding me??" is going to go in the memory bank. What a comeback for the Padres.
@@elmopihkala402 We're all insane. That's why we're here. I just watched this again. The Padres beat Max Scherzer again last night! lol. 7/9/2023 Yes! Manny hit two homers off him. ha ha.
Yes you’re a dodger fan, but you’re a baseball fan. One of class, one who appreciates the game above bullshit loyalty. I’m a Padres fan, but can appreciate good baseball from all teams, including the Dodgers! Except from the Astros
So awesome, and exactly what I love about this Padres team! They're never out of it until the final Out, no matter how many Runs down. Congrats, Daniel... #SlamDiego
The brother’s reaction and his interview after were so beautiful :’) a perfect example of what baseball can mean to the lifeblood of a family here in the states… baseball is like jazz, or flight. One of the precious things America can truly be proud of contributing to the world

Yeah it would've been a homw run in every single ballpark
In San Diego too of all places...not the easiest place to go yard

Don Orsillo! Love him from his time in Boston.
Wow 👏
For real he goes from depressed to holy cow that just happened
I love how you can hear Mark Grant screaming with happiness off the mic. I can picture him jumping around the booth.
That was a perfect pitch low and 96 mph below strike zone which proves good hitting always beats good pitching look how low that pitch was

What a finale to the pitcher hitting era. Ended with perhaps the most epic pitcher HR of all time
You should check our Braves starting pitcher Max Fried, pitch hitting in extra innings and getting a walk off also in 2021.
What a stupid decision by the league.
The last time a pitcher hit a grand slam as their first career hit was in 1898. Insane

“It is what it is,” they said.
And damn we’re they wrong
They were never so happy to be so very wrong
Bad timing for Max
The Padres drafted this kid as a possible two-way player. And oh boy did he deliver on that!
Did they re-edit the clip? It's no longer there lol
@@nathano9637 It's still there, at 0:07.
Im a marlins fan. I love it for this guy. I love the underdog, I live for this. TEN YEARS in the minors. Gets called up and does this? Christmas in July buddy and enjoy it!
That was a tough pitch to hit too it was fast 96 mph low and inside. That was honestly a good pitch and he still hit it...
Dropped the bat and let it do the work. Reminds me of Gibson's walk-off against Eck. Same swing, same pitch location. Was epic to watch live.
low and inside to a left hand hitter.... hard to hit? heck naw! his eyes lit up and he crushed it!!!!
That's not tough for a lefty. It was right in his natural swing and that's why Max was going down and away the whole at bat. That one just got away from him.
Dude completely changed that game. Runs Scherzer out in the 4th and puts him team in a better position to actually compete in the game. Insane. This is why baseball is the best sport ever.
If anyone ever wants to argue with that, show them this game.
Baseball’s exciting but i don’t think it’s the best in the world
Scherzer's 🚶 of shame was classic.
Definitely will start watching more baseball ⚾️
Baseball is great. But NFL football is king
That announcer call was pretty badass, not going to like. He should announce the world series, his call makes you pumped up
Don Orsillo is a great broadcaster. He used to broadcast the Red Sox games and now does Padres game. He also did some announcing for TBS during the LDS and LCS. I’m still salty Don was let go by the Sox.
I have the pleasure of living in San Diego and listening to him every night the Padres are playing when I'm not at the stadium. I love listening to their broadcast.
Instead we get boring Joe Buck
I'm literally just looking up highlights from this season to try and relive them and I'm so lucky I was at this game ! that moment was insane ! Grish also walks it off to secure the W !
Unbelievable. One of the best highlights of any team in baseball this year. So happy for him, his family and the Padres. I am a Giant's fan, but I would not be disappointed if the Padres win our division. Wonderful to see them thriving!
I went back like 20 times to see the peoples reactions when he hit it.
Same the chick in yellow first row knew it was gone from the beginning
Haha, I did the same thing, it's always so great watching reactions.
@@evilways9173 Thanks for saving me some time, I'm OCD about this
As a Dodger fan, I can't be upset. Only respect, shock, and awe
My wife and I watched in complete disbelief! God bless you Daniel, you made our night! Go Padres!!!!!
What an amazing memory to have shared with a loved one! Great stuff Stephen!
What a great memory for the family.
I Come back to re watch this cause it just gets me fired up everytime!
I’m a huge Nats fan, and and even I think this is effing great 👍
No, you are a huge BASEBALL fan!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Even if the Padres send him back down, he's got this for the rest of his life. San Diego native here. LOVE it when locals do this and yeah, I assume that was his dad losing his mind, he saw that. Maybe I'm biased but, this team has something special no other team has.
his dad passed away, that was his brother.
@@santanat.7206 Oh okay. Thank you. 😊
@@santanat.7206 Oh that makes sense. I was surprised when the announcer said it was his dad. They looked the same age.
@@panner11 I mean he could still be a dad, just not Daniel's dad. :)
@@lowfuel6089 Ha cheeky, but I did say 'his' not 'a' dad so... :)
I remember before the slam happened, I said watch Camarena do a Slam Diego and then it happened, I spit out the soda I had in my mouth and went crazy. Slam Diego is back on tour, what a comeback win tonight! 😱🙌👏
Highlight of the decade if not century! From announcer, fans, family, everything made these 4 minutes make me happy, smile, and choke up for an hour of rewatching these 4 minutes over and over again!!!
This is one of the best calls ever, love it all
And Scherzer made a good pitch too. That’s insane.
Yea he went down and got all that pitch!!
Yeah that was crazy that he was able to go down and get it like that .
Actually a horrible pitch to a left hander. Elevate that fastball and blow it by the pitcher who's never seen ML pitches before. Down and in to a LH is almost always their hot zone. Max is a HOFer but he does tend to give up the HR, but not usually to the new arm in the bullpen.
@@ppfoten211 the ball was 6in below the strike zone. So how was it a bad pitch?
I can see down and in at the knees or a little higher being a hot zone but this pitch was shin high.
@@Truckerdaddy exactly
That’s one of the most unbelievable moments I’ve seen in baseball
Kirt Gibsons homer off of Dennis Ekersly in the World Series best I ever saw live, this is a top 10 for sure.
@@donaldindividual-1 Great moment for Dodger fans and Gibson who hit that on a bad leg, but I hate that moment because I’m an A’s fan hahaha
I love how you can hear mud screams even when his mic is muted. Just goes to show how much he cares abt this team
hes gonna have to walk 32 miles with don now after this comeback
Love love love this. This is why baseball still makes me feel like a little boy. Watching his dad’s reaction made me tear up.
That was actually his older brother.
Came back to watch this after last nights Padres 9-8 comeback win against the Cubs. Same energy!!
Man the Padres are just amazing this year. What a story!
That is a incredible swing from Daniel Camarena I'm very surprised that he connected that swing really good!
He made a great adjustment. He could have easily been early with his swing and struck out.
Golf swing
His brother looks exactly like him.
That's his dad
@@NIRVANA4LIFE123 thats his brother. his dad sadly passed away
@@NIRVANA4LIFE123 thought the same but actually his elder brother. Must have been proud. Pretty sure he was more looking for a good pitch and not a grand slam. Could tell from his lips he was yelling OMG number of times.🤣
@@_mxme oh okay, I just assumed since the announcer said "somebody better check on dad" 🤔
I was going to say... if that's his dad, he must have had him when he was about four. :D
Look at the joy of his team mates! This dude is a keeper!!!
This video never fails to make me smile.
That must be the best feeling in the world!!
His family's reaction legit made me emotional. Amazing moment. I love baseball.
Blessings from Taiwan 😇🧧🥰
AMAZING performance by a PITCHER ! 💪🤩👍
Been to hundreds of baseball games in my life. This one topped all of them easily.
Wow! I enjoy these hilites the way they are cut together…LOVE watching the entire at bat and replays.
I’m a huge nats fan and seeing this made me smile so much, good for him man
You cant be huge nats fan then. If that happened to mets my stomache would turn
Man that's gotta be one of the best moments of his life. He will always remember that. How freaking cool. Baseball at its finest
That has to be the teams turning point. That was all friar faithful wishing n praying for a way. Its a history for padres fans, we will never forget this moment.
#KeepTheFaith
Not just about baseball, but also family, new player, unexpected awesome moment...makes me love life itself!!!
For me, this was the greatest call in sports for 2021.
It was pretty damn great. I mean, the whole thing was great.
That Don Orsillo call never gets old. I've heard it a few times and "Are you kidding me??" is going to go in the memory bank. What a comeback for the Padres.
Big Congrats to Camarena!! You made the Padres Proud! Welcome to the family!!! Proud Papa in the stands doesn't get better than that!
SLAM DIEGO!
I am thrilled to say that I was at that game. And what a game it was.
Amazing the joy the sport a bring to someone
I love this video so much I've commented FOUR TIMES now!
you’re insane
@@elmopihkala402 We're all insane. That's why we're here. I just watched this again. The Padres beat Max Scherzer again last night! lol. 7/9/2023 Yes! Manny hit two homers off him. ha ha.
This kid was always a stud , I remember watching him play when he was with the so cal redwings baseball team .
We are now in the pitchers who can rake era
I’m so ready for this era. I love the idea of pitchers who can hit instead of swinging like a bat like a sword
Pitchers have always hit homeruns. Where have you been?
Finally now the NL actually has a case lol
I thought they were doing the DH in both leagues. Hope it doesn't happen
This year's San Diego is hitting some drama for sure. Ha-Seong Kim and now Daniel Camarena. Exciting times this year for the Padres.
@Frankey TJ Added him too!
I don't know what was more awesome...the homerun or the roar of the crowd. Well done Daniel Camarena. ⚾😎👍
He's cemented into history forever
This is crazy. Great pitch, second at bat, and grand slam. OFF OF SCHERZER. As a dodger fan, the Padres are fun to watch
Yes you’re a dodger fan, but you’re a baseball fan. One of class, one who appreciates the game above bullshit loyalty. I’m a Padres fan, but can appreciate good baseball from all teams, including the Dodgers! Except from the Astros
@@brandonlilly5738 I respect that ✊🏼
@@brandonlilly5738 except the astros 😂😂 love that
@@brandonlilly5738 If I could upvote this twice I would. :) Well said.
A dodger bandwagon
So awesome, and exactly what I love about this Padres team!
They're never out of it until the final Out, no matter how many Runs down. Congrats, Daniel...
#SlamDiego
That pitch was a ball. Amazing power, even for a pitcher. Holy cow. That’s amazing lol
Tony Gwynn is smiling from heaven.
The brother’s reaction and his interview after were so beautiful :’) a perfect example of what baseball can mean to the lifeblood of a family here in the states… baseball is like jazz, or flight. One of the precious things America can truly be proud of contributing to the world
