- This was THE CRAZIEST DAY. I got 17 baseballs at this game (!!) and gave 16 of them away. Wanna guess which one I kept? Yeah, Aaron Judge's 56th home run of the season, which went direction from his bat into my glove deep in the left field seats.
I bought my tickets months ago hoping to catch a Judge home run. Yes, really! Of course I was hoping he would already be closer to 60 homers (or beyond) but I'm not about to start complaining. I've always loved Judge, and I had NEVER caught one of his home runs at Yankee Stadium . . . until September 24, 2024. So forgive me for completely losing my mind after it happened.
I did once snag a Judge home run at a White Sox game in Chicago (under bizarre/exhilarating circumstances). Here's a link to that video. It's truly wild:
• GENIUS-LEVEL baseball ...
Here's the MLB highlight of Judge's 56th home run:

And as promised, here's a list of ALL the game home runs that I've ever gotten:

Fyi, every baseball that I catch this season is raising money for a children's charity called Pitch In For Baseball & Softball, which provides equipment to help kids play ball. Please consider making a pledge (while also telling Jon Heyman to go screw himself):

Huge thanks to the Orioles and especially bullpen catcher Ben Carhart for being so cool and generous. And uhhh, thanks to Dean Kremer for his role in all of this, haha. (Love you, Dean! And congrats on the win.)
This video was filmed by Rachel Messbauer (who crushed it!), and the editing was a double-Z/tag-team effort. Zac Gutherman (@zg_films) edited everything until the Yankees took the field, and I edited everything after. Yow!! This is one of my favorite videos ever, and I'm so glad to be able to share it with you.
Thanks for watching, please subscribe (if you haven't already), and much love!
You’re a good guy, great for baseball and fans of all ages. Keep up the good work
Many thanks!
This is probably my favorite Zack Hample video so far... love to see the joy he bring to the stadium and all fans around him... keep it going to 100,000 baseballs!!!
100k? Maybe if I break into the Rawlings baseball factory.
You’re a 40 something year old kid. Don’t ever stop being a kid!! Keep having fun!!
Zack is Peter Pan
childhood begins at 40 lol
I am indeed! :D
nah thars a problem
He gives half of them to the kids lol
OMG simply amazing, lmao! Perfect spot, perfect time! I have the biggest smile on my face for you, Zack. You are the man! Great camera work by Rachel, too!
Rachel is amazing.
Rumor has it, they were chanting MVP for Zack, not Judge…
HAHAHA
@@FrankThe77Tank If you think about it, it's the truth, too. That Zack is the GOAT in what he does & Aaron Judge is not, lol. I still give it to Babe Ruth, idc what anyone says.
Great video, congratulations on catching the Judge HR! I admire your skill in catching the baseballs, and you are clearly a fan as well.
Love the intro....irony at its finest! This video was loaded with awesome content..... and that HR....was pretty cool too... 😂 Amazing work my friend!
Many thanks!
3 leaping catches in a row during BP. An incredible display of anticipation, positioning, fly ball judgment, tight quarters maneuverability, timing, and leaping ability. Nice job by Rachel the videographer as well.
Thanks! She did an amazing job.
Seeing that excitement on your face, and hearing the crowd erupt makes me realize why you love what you do so much. What a feeling that must have been!!
Truly unreal.
19:08 What are the odds? At this point, 100 times better than anyone else in that stadium. Zack has developed an intuition about where a player will hit a ball. It’s pretty impressive
*Zack you did it again!*
You are SO GOOD at catching fly balls man.
Congrats!
Thanks!
I was there and saw you catch it
Cap
@@MicahDavis-ix1wx how would you know
🍪
I was too, I was at the front of the section. I came up to him a little before and asked him for a picture, super nice guy.
no you werent
I watched your videos religiously back 6 years ago, I’m glad to see you doing what you love and getting out and sharing the moment with fans alike.
Saw the catch live on tv king
I'd rather watch you being a big kid, giving balls to kids, raising money for charity and loving your life than all these adults who got something to say with their inner child dead years ago.
This is top-tier comment. Thank you.
Greetings Zack Hample, and Baseball fans, hope everyone is doing well!
Great to watch you Zack working hard, congratulations getting 56th Home Run!!
Take care, will always 'like' and have been Subscribed!!
Congratulations on the Judge home run.
Watching you do your magic during batting practice is almost as good as the game itself. Super great video Zack! Thank you.
Thank YOU!
Was watching on tv, totally saw you catch it! Was hoping they would pan back, and replay didn't show the catch... Nice job!
Thanks!
It’s like he saw you in the stands and sent it right to you! That’s crazy work. Pretty cool Zack considering all the other balls you got that day. Congrats.
💯 authentic after all these years!!
💯 awesome!
And that’s coming from a 52 year old that would love to see the MLB partner with you on a much larger scale! Who knows how much you have truly impacted the game!
I hope you never change!
Let’s go!!!
Many thanks! I've done some stuff with MLB over the years, but unfortunately now I'm "too controversial" because of all the shitty lies that've been spread about me, so I assume MLB doesn't want anything to do with me. Womp-womp.
Been waiting for this to drop!! Congrats, Zack!!
That little girl you gave the ball to is my friends daughter ! 😂 so awesome !
HUGE Accomplishment! Way to go, Zack!
Unbelievable ! 😮 you were definitely on fire in that day 🔥🔥🔥
Another great video, that's me in the Mantle shirt in the background at the beginning of the video, I just met Zack for the first time last week in Fenway and then see him again here...
Love these videos. Collecting Baseballs and giving them away to other fans. Doesn't get much better.
Wow Zack already had a great day cause he caught so many baseballs, then the home run on top of that. Even better! What a great day
I remember reaching out yrs ago making a comment how special the balls are to the kids and us ball chasers me from back in the 60s D Stadium can only save so many. Again I'm gonna say how proud I am of you for sharing the joy and as a father figure it loosened you up to really enjoy the whole experience. You were intense and kinda wound tight now your truelly enjoying sharing and receiving the love. Great vid kid and congrats.
There is nothing like getting the blood flowing by catching a judge home run ball. Congratulations Zack!!!
Thanks!
I don’t understand how you’re always in the right place at the right time wtf
It’s amazing how many in game HR’s you catch. So awesome to watch.
A legendary hitter caught by a legendary catcher! Keep it up - love when you get those home runs 🎉🎉
Zack you were blessed in what you're doing. Catching all those baseballs is just amazing. Let's say you have knack for it. The baseball you caught Judge 56th home run will always be special in your heart. No doubt you will treasure it forever.
100% -- thank you!
After seeing the title my first thought was “Of course he did “ 😂😂😂 hell yea bro
:)
So awesome!! I caught that it was you immediately when I was watching it live. Congrats, brother!!
Really awesome!!! Congratulations on that home run catch by Aaron Judge!!!
Thanks!
@@zackhample You're welcome, Zack! Are you going to the World Series in New York?
I was at my travel practice and there is a TV in there and I saw you when you got the hr. Truly a amazing catch
That's awesome. Thanks!!
WELL DONE, that was amazing you are brilliant. I would love to have that ball on display in my home. Keep going my brother.
ITS THE LUCKY SHIRT GIVING U THE BEST OF LUCK!!
7 DINGERS!!!!!!!
Was waiting for this upload! Congrats thats a special one to catch.
Zack great video yo when i was watching the video on 19:32-19:36 " your a child hample" Bro I was crying of laughter!!!! thanks for keeping that in. man that was hilarious. But other then beside that comment. I am glad that you saved the Homerun ball for arron judge. great job as always man but keep up the good work. Hopefully one day I can meet you and say hi. but I love the videos man I always watch your baseball season. much love from N.Y. Westchester County and your subscriber Kevin Patino.
Zack can make a living just catching Cedric Mullins HR Balls…
Hmm, I've only gotten two . . .
Judge HR congrats that is awesome! Another great video ⚾️👍⚾️
Thanks!
Why do people hate on Zack? I think having fans like Zack are good for baseball. Anyway, Congratulations Aaron Judge and Yankees on a great turn around season. Us Mariners fans will be without October baseball... again.. 😢
Exactly, Zack is entertaining! He adds another element to the fan experience, the kids get inspired to catch balls on their own instead of lying about it being their birthday to be a little thief
@@jnl7196 LOL
That was amazing! You were positioned for destiny and of course the flawless glove work. Congrats!
Dominican Republic shirt strikes again!!!!
stoked for you, zack 🐺
Thanks!
THIS WAS INSANE!!! That truly IS your lucky shirt!!! And the slight foreshadowing with Judge at the start! A dream day for a ball hawk for sure, especially in New York.
Yeah, at Yankee Stadium of all places?! That place is hellish a lot of the time.
Great 👍🏼 video Zack keep up the great hard work keep grindin love ❤️ your videos sm
So happy for you! I had fun watching it happen!!
How much complaining was required? I mean if you’re going told me how the game was “meh” in terms of terms of home runs 8 minutes before you caught it. I think another way you can complain as well is by singing “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by Twisted Sister. I’m glad my advice worked again, sorta. The universe clearly hates me for getting me sick and making me miss this game!
Haha, thank you Aidan for you magic touch even from afar! Hope you're feeling better now.
@@zackhample I didn’t mean to give you the magic touch on this one, though.
Man you’re good at this!
Your ice cream strategy is commendable.
Thank you thank you.
Wow Zack congrats!!! I bet the adrenaline and excitement kicked in so hard. You knew that ball was coming right at you and didn’t even have to try
After I scooted 20 feet to my left through a narrow space behind the last row and then climbed down over a row . . . yup! Then it came right to me! Haha.
Zack you did it once again your the king of catching baseballs on UA-cam
HECK YA !!! Saw this on a few videos on instagram and knew it was him haha
This was a very good video because I’ve never been to a baseball game but seeing this video shows like the bts of the game like when the players are batting before the game it kinda let me see the whole experience great video ❤️
That's what I aim for. Glad you liked it.
Congratulations on catching an Aaron Judge Home Run, Zack!!!
Thanks!
Great job catching Judge’s home run Zack!!
Luckily there was room in the back of the section for you to catch it
Another job well done Zack!!
One of the few spots in that stadium where there's some space!
Oh my gosh Zack you caught a home run from Aaron freaking Judge!!!! How does it feel?? Happy for you Zack… also wanna point out that Coach Sanders is money with those fungos…anyways congrats 😃👍🏽
Felt AMAZING and still does.
I saw you catch it on TV and I was like: “oh that’s Zack Hample! Zack Zample caught that!” My dad said Who?!?
Your dad needs to get educated!
Zack so glad u caught his home run! Too bad it wasn't his 60th. Would have been even better! But great catch Zack❤
You deserve all the excitement hype and congratulations
Was right next to you … that’s my voice when he hit the home run !!!
I think we gotta go to the games together you catch I drink and make commentary lmao
na
Haha, amazing!!!!!
Yessir!!! Let’s go!!! Zack hell yea Aaron judge home run caught by the one and only
Let’s go Zack all rise 👨⚖️
You are sure good at what you do...I put this game on TV for like 10 minutes and there you are catching it in a sea of people!
Congratulations, Zack. best show ever. you played your way back up to the majors with this one. p.s.- as you know, in 1961 Mantle and Maris had the home run competition to try to beat The Babe's single season record. at the end of the season, Maris, of course had 61 - but did you know that The Mick had - wait for it - FIFTY-SIX (56)!!!
He actually had 54 that year, I think. But thank you!!!
@@zackhample oh boy - is my face red! - ur right, of course. 54
You great at this! Don’t give up
Never gets old, congrats on 102 👍
Thanks!
Congrats man! Was pumped when I saw you caught it
Thanks! :D
I saw you on tv and said “no fucking way” you’re truly a legend.
Aaron Judge the king of hitting home runs in the Yankees
The range on that Hample kid!!!! ⚾️🤪
Congrats Zack! What am amazing catch!
Thank you!
I saw you live on TV catch it and I am like wait, "That is Zach Hample", very impressive!
I love the kid at 4:30 learning the tricks from you. As soon as you say it's time to back up, he goes to go back as well!
That was fun. That kid got like 13 baseballs, btw. He crushed it!
@@zackhample He's got a long way to go, but a new challenger has entered!
Man that looked sweet!
Can't imagine the Jubilation you must have felt. Congrats Zack.
Thanks! I'm still feeling the aftershock of it.
10:21 the usher you said "sup" to when you got to that section is in AWE, just as I am. Thanks Zach and anyone else involved with making this content for us
ngl i got a little emotional watching you give the ball to the kid. What a kind act
Saw it live and on every social platform Zack you are the goat
Thanks so much!
Holy Crap 56th Home Run Catch that's so Rare To Catch Keep that buddy Don't give it away Keep it For the memories Congrats Keep up the good Work

Haha, sorry for the spoiler.
The love for the game is strong on this one.
Your lucky shirt you wore in Cincinnati and boston strikes again!
Yessir
Yup!
Lmfao!! wtf Zack. At it again. Congrats!!
You're a Baseball genie! congrats
He always seems to be right place right time baseball whisperer
Great work Zack, ignore the jealous haters, like the guy at 19:34 and keep doing what you love 👍
What haters? Haha
Piss on the haters, you've given away more balls to kids than anyone in history
Aaron Judge is the man. Must have felt good to catch his 56th Home run this season.
@18:34 fan giving the middle finger in the upper right green shirt lol..
Hahahaha, I didn't notice and still don't care.
@@zackhample I think it’s pathetic a grown man is acting like a 3 year old
Ben comes through again! ⚾️👏🏻
Good afternoon from Chicago Zack, that's really good one congratulations!

You’re the flippin man Hample!!!!!!!! Way to go, yet again!
