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:

Still can’t believe that happened! Thanks again Zack for the great experience at Fenway. Was an absolute blast. LETS GO 🔥

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.

[@cariperrine7725]

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.

[@zackhample]

I really appreciate and hope you guys have better luck next time. Happy double-digits to your son!

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.

Thank you! Glad you guys were watching. :D

[@todd_on_bikes]

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!

[@zackhample]

Thank you! That means a lot coming from someone like you who's, uhhh, seen a few balls. Hi to the fam.

[@Dudeman9339]

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.

[@zackhample]

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.
