I TOLD YOU I WOULD CATCH A HOME RUN!! Incredible luck at Kauffman Stadium

- Yes, I predicted that I would catch a home run AND IT HAPPENED. Kansas City Royals vs. Toronto Blue Jays? Sometimes I just FEEL it, and this was one of those days. With Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the lineup along with George Springer, Bo Bichette, Matt Chapman -- and a bunch of sluggers for the home team like Salvador Perez, Carlos Santana, and Bobby Witt Jr., I had a hunch that baseballs would be flying. But guess what? The home run was hit by someone unexpected.
You know what else was fun? Catching a bunch of baseballs before the game (while the Blue Jays were warming up) and then going nuts in the all-you-can-eat area behind the center field wall. How many calories do you think I ate? Leave a comment and let me know.
If you're interested in seeing a list of ALL the game home runs that I've snagged from MLB games, check out this page on my website (and be advised that it looks better on desktop than mobile -- I'm in the process of getting everything sorted out with the mobile version of my site):

This video was filmed on June 8, 2022 by "Fenway Chris" (@yonnernyc on Insta), and it was edited by me. Thanks for watching!
The kid giving Zack a hug after signing the ball was so genuine!
Totally
Zack Hample is absolutely the best! He's so nice and generous! Baseball games are so much better when he attends. Hope I get to meet him someday, at a game.
Saw him at a game last night in Milwaukee. Seems like a pretty cool guy.
@@kylegross1081 oh that's awesome he sure is
thanks Zack for keeping baseball alive for the kids.... it reminds me of going to my first baseball game in 1975 and watching the Pittsburgh Pirates....
Thank YOU! Sounds like a great memory.
@@zackhample I am stoked to hear from you! Thank you so much
Hey Zack I just got to go on a baseball trip to a few stadiums, and using some of your methods I was able to get a couple baseballs (and some autographs)! So, I can confirm, watching Zack Hample’s videos will make you a better ballhawk.
what stadiums?
@@larrysipe1234 Fenway, yankee, and Citi
Awesome! Glad to hear that.
82 home runs ?? That’s totally crazy lol I would think catching 1 in a life time is lucky . Haha
@@sconte0817 caught 2 in the playoffs last year in one game at fenway... thats crazy enough
I saw this on Tv and as soon as this happened I was like oh there he is pointing to his camera and I have been waiting for this vid for a bit lol great catch
Zach I love you and using your techniques I got 2 baseballs tossed up in 10 minutes at Kaufman and one by Greinke.
Always cool to see the alternate camera shots whenever you catch a homerun. Fenway Chris did a great job capturing it himself despite having just put the larger lens on lol. Great job Zack!
Thanks and yeah, he did the best he could given how I messed him up.
Multiple cameras caught it….so what if the TV cameras did a better job??
@@FenwayChris nah you deserve more for getting the exclusive close up shot
@@kuppajr thanks buddy!! 👊
i was watching this game at a bar in Toronto and I was OMG, I just saw Zack catch that homerun. Been waiting for this episode.
:D
You really make my day with your videos today. Since I go to MLB games sometimes I want to get some balls and you teach me some ways so I want to thank you for that. Great video today.
Thanks very much!

Dope Edits Mr. Hample
Shout Out Fenway Chris
Thank yoooooou!
Thank you!
Soooo cool and gotta feel great to see the stoke on anybody’s face that runs into you or has you sign a ball Love it man
Yup, for sure.
Saw the catch live and immediately texted my daughter
Glad to finally watch the video. I know your a busy guy. Great Video of my stadium. Thanks
Little guy hugging you might be the cutest shit I've seen this year.
That was pretty great.
I feel like Zach has a b roll of that every game until he finally caught one 😂
YUP
Your uploads are always amazing! Keep up the great work Zack!
Thanks!
Love how confident you are to catching a home run ball.
Hey Zack, you are an amazing UA-camr, keep up the great content. Watching your videos have helped me be a better person and better at snagging balls
Thank you
Wow! That's amazing. :)
I will likely unload in the Philly video, so here is just a precursor.
Don't at me, Zack is a perfect example of making baseball fun again. Just watch and see how the kids love him (that DOES NOT qualify him as a creep btw) and how generous he genuinely is!
Doubters will doubt haters will hate but when Zack puts on the focus cap believers always believe. That ball said "Where is Zack? Oh There he is Hi Zack" EPIC CATCH
Thanks!
Saw this live on youtube game of the week live stream. Nice Catch!
Thank you!
It was great to meet you after this game. Really appreciate the exposure your videos bring to the game. Thanks and we’ll see you again soon.
Heck yeah Zack glad you got the HR ball, time for a hot streak now haha ! And keep up the great vids man ! 💯
Zack I love your videos, I’ve been watching for a while now and I’ve learned a lot from it. Because of you I always try to get into games early and try to get balls.
Fenway Chris, "Because I give them to chicks"! 😂😂😂
I was dying after that 😂😂😂😂
Zack, I watch your videos all the time. I was watching this game on UA-cam live, and as a Blue Jays fan I was excited that Collins hit a HR, and I had no idea you caught that HR! Incredible!!
The fact that Zack caught the homer on UA-cam game of the week makes this better.
Right?? :D
Great video Zack! I love the girl's reaction; nope, I don't want the ball. Then you snagged the home run. That's awesome!
Heh. :)
This Video was awesome zack i loved it its so awesome that you caught that home run ball! I am a huge fan of your channel you are awesome! Thanks so much for keep making this awesome content!
Thanks, really appreciate that.
@@zackhample Anytime man! thanks so much for seeing this and replying.
When Collins hit the home run I saw you and was hoping you would catch it then I flipped out when you did. Nice catch out their 👍
Thanks!!!!
awesome video keep it up thanks for posting for us and showing all these great adventures with you sir.congrats sir too
If Zack doesn’t make your day when he posts, I don’t know what does
Zack always makes my day.
@@aidanfinkofficial yeah he’s just so wholesome and I love watching his vids
@@basketball13b me too!! 🦅
Wonderful prediction Zack!! You showed us that when you want it strongly, you get it!!
ARCANOID LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!! As usual, bummed I missed you at Kauffman. Wtf is it with the Blue Jays and football? I am also happy that Kauffman treated you right and got you a homer even though you've been out there a few times this season for Witt Jr's possible first homer.
Thanks but I have to correct you on one thing: Arkanoid with a kay. 👊
@@zackhample What the HECK. I even played this game back in the day and thought it was with a C! This is giving me Mandela Effect vibes. (Arkanoid with a K, Zack with a K.) This will be easy to replace in my memories.
Zack pumping the videos out, love it man! Keep up the great work
Thanks!
I was watching the Royals broadcast when you caught that HR. I wasn't paying attention to who caught it but then the announcers called you by name. I was thinking I'm gonna see that on UA-cam later. Very cool
Nice. I had said 5.
This video made me grin from ear to ear.😁
Best video game of all time?
Old school
Atari...
Asteroids.
I'll beat anybody in the world.
Ooh, that's a fun one.
"I give them to chicks." 💀 Fenway Chris killed me with that one. 🤣NICE CATCH Z! 👏💥 Here's to many more! 🥳 🥂🍻
I've watched a lot of your videos the last few weeks and that is definitely the happiest I've seen you in a good while. Good stuff 👍👍 and keep enjoying it!
Yeah. I wish my happiness wasn't tied to home runs but here we are.
@@zackhample Ack, I doubt that's true! Anyways cheers for the vlogs, really enjoy them 👍👍
“Cause I gave them to chicks” - Fenway Chris😂😂😂😂
:D
more random funny moments with Fenway Chris PLS😂
Was waiting for you to post this after seeing you catch the home run live because UA-cam was streaming the game for free. The chat pointed it out and I had to go back to confirm it. What a crazy coincidence seeing you catch one live!
Nice! Glad you saw it when it happened.
From my son Dane: Hi Zach! You are such a good guy. I am the kid with the Bobby Witt jr jersey that you signed. It was fun meeting you and it made my day :)
Just wanted to say u make great content and I appreciate what u do for baseball and the mlb
Thank you!
Hey Zack, you’re really awesome, I went to Kauffman once. If you could give me tips on ball hawking, I’d like that. I’m becoming a ball hawk because of you, can’t wait to see more, thank you for uploading
Thanks! I would suggest watching my videos, read my old blog entries, and check out my book "The Baseball" - TONS of advice there. Sorry but I just don’t have time to retype advice here.
@@zackhample it’s fine! Thank you so much, can I suggest Minute Maid Park where the Astros are? They have a pretty good stadium
I bet the water from the fountains feels good on a hot summer day but man are they loud!
Yeah but I don't think it's the cleanest water, ya know?
Love you zack keep staying positive and thank you for the content that you and only you put out there!
Thank you for these videos Zack. They are always great
Thanks for watching.
Love your baseball vids
I'm glad to hear that.
Zack be honest...
Do you do a little clip before every game stating that you're absolutely going to catch a home run? lol
Haha, no but I should! Then I could always "predict" my home runs and be correct.
@@zackhample You crack me up man.
@@Jeff-yz3on Lol right. It would be dark.
Bunch of spam comments here Zack.
Lol was thinking the same thing.
After I watched the highlights of that game, I just noticed that someone chated the amazing homerun and that looked like Zack Hample because of the camera person, Fenway Chris, and what the person was wearing. So I was looking for that and I couldn't find it and then the next day, you posted that video. LOL
Always enjoy watching your videos Zack can't wait for you to reach 12,000 and also 100 home runs.
Hey Zach I love your videos and just a suggestion the guardians and Yankees games have been very tight and they are coming to progressive field!
Hahaha I was watching this game on tv and I saw this happen absolutely amazing catch !!!! So happy for you bro, keep up the great content
THANKS!!
I was watching that game and saw you catch the home run ball. It was being aired on UA-cam that day. The announcers even said it was Zack Hample that caught the ball!!
YAY! YOU DID IT! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU ZACK
Thanks, Erynn!
Nice catch zack! I’m happy for you. It’s been a while Since you got a home run catch
Great video. Can you please go to the Rockies and la game on the 29th of June I will be there and it’s my 12th birthday.
Fenway Chris with the most honest thing ever said. "I GIVE THEM TO CHICKS."
Gotta show some love to the laaaaaaadies!!
the king is back
Congratulations on your 1st home run of the season. I hope you catch more home run this year.
Thanks!
Was at this same exact game! Would've loved to run into Zack just to talk baseball, current and old. Enjoy all your videos guys, keep it up ✅️🤟
An upload a day keeps my sadness away 😂😂😂
I'm here for you.
How did you predict that?? Unless you say that for every game off camera 🤣 I'm glad you finally got a Home run ball this year! I'll never get one so great job Zack!
This was the first game all season that I predicted a homer. Can't explain it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah buddy!!! Nice catch Zack!!
Saw you at this game and got a pic! Congrats on the HR!
⚾💪🏼 I watched you catch that Zack Collins Homer live on TV when it played. I had to rewind the game to make sure it was you lool.
:D
Congrats!
Thanks!
That hug is the best. Baseball makes us better humans
Good one Zack!! Your the best!! I can’t wait to see some videos from dodger stadium!!
:)
Thank you for coming to KC, we love you here! Hope to see you at the K someday.
so inspirational
@Zach Hample I am a big fan of your channel! Sometimes I see you on live TV during royals home games! 😎
I can't believe it ! A video where Fenway Chris doesn't make fun of what Zack is eating !🤣
you setup fenway chris for disaster zack hahaha he was still able to get a great shot tho
Ha, true.
My man! 👊
I was watching this game live in tv and I saw you catch it live. Unreal !
let’s gooo zack i was actually watching this live & couldn’t believe it was you who caught it also great catch btw🎉⚾️
Thanks!
That’s the energy we need zack
Zack keep up the videos I love watching your channel so entertaining and motivational keep it up
Saw this game on UA-cam and was like hey there's Zack and then bam you caught it was really cool!
Also was at the Jays game yesterday and caught my first ball ever, foul from Espinal. Finally on the board!
Congrats!
@@zackhample thank you! I may have watched a bunch of the videos at Roger center and in general to prep myself 😁😂
Hey zack great video keep up the great work
👊
Zack I think you make some of the best content of yt
I have a question what stadium are you going to next?
Corn dogs and french toast...2 of the major food groups!😆
I remember seeing it on TV and being like: yo that's Zack Hample lol
Saw that catch live on a UA-cam stream! Nice catch Zack.
Thanks! Glad you saw it.
Proud of you Zack, I watched more than a plethora of your vids. You always stock pilled the balls and you learned that ball meant everything to the kids so you gave them away to kids. I like the new grownup Zack! But hey from one player to another take a shower with that glove and tie a baseball in it with a belt and let it dry like the pros do. That glove has no pocket/ formed Venus fly trap, a glove should close on impact of ball. Keep the vids coming its always a good time to go to the ballpark
Thanks, that's nice of you to say and I appreciate the advice.
@@zackhample cool and your welcome but you never get to old to develop and grow!! Thats called death. Stay safe Zack
Zack, you are such a good positive role for the kids! Keep it up man!
Zack*
Nice catch Zack!!
Thank you.
I was so happy when I found out you caught that home run and saw the clip (and still am!) You caught a home run without me present, how dare you! Nah, just kidding congrats Zack and I hope you catch lots more. It was your longest drought in terms of the amount of games it took you to catch a home run in a season where you’ve caught at least one since 2009 (52 games). Took you 32 games this year. Hopefully the next one is much sooner.
Wow, well, it felt like an eternity. Thanks for the good vibes as always.
Gotta start calling it more often then! And nice Jays t-shirt!
Thanks!
Keep doing what you are doing Zack
Right on! You called it 🤙🏽
I watcthed this game on live and you catching this homerome, congrats!!!
Nice catch on that homer!
I’m going to Kc next month and catching a royals tigers game, I’m stoked. I’ve only been to games in SF and love seeing new stadiums
Have fun!
They should definitely open the gates up earlier
This was the Wednesday UA-cam game, I think you were mentioned. I had it on in the background
Worth the grind bro
Yo Zack! Love the vids! I am so glad and still super excited to have you signature my glove! Number 11 something thousand at Yankees vs Angels one game before the Yankees got rained out.
I'm glad to have signed it.
@@zackhample Number 11771
Hey Zach I am from Canada and was watching that game as we get Blue Jays game. I thought it was you on tv.
I love the kiss cam moment it was wierd at first but when I saw it again I noticed the background.😂😂😂
Dope catch man! Was watching the game live!
Glad you saw it -- thanks!
