How does Mike Trout react to hearing my name?

The story with Trout (as you might already know) is that I caught his 1st MLB home run in 2011, gave him the ball after the game, and he's been really cool with me ever since -- so the answer is that he reacts like the true GOAT that he is. Meanwhile I didn't even ask him for an autograph at this game on Jackie Robinson Day. I just wanted a fist-bump, and whaddaya know? Trout ended up crushing a 420-foot home run to help the Los Angeles Angels defeat the Tampa Bay Rays.
Batting practice was fun. Randy Arozarena was fun. My shirt was fun. This was just a really great day at Tropicana Field -- my first of three games here, so get ready for lots more action.
This video was filmed on April 15, 2024 by Rachel Messbauer, and it was edited by Zac Gutherman (@zg_films). Thanks for watching!

Mike Trout should consider flying you out to games for fist bumps if he's ever in a slump!

Totally Right

[@Jrhynie]

Lot of happy young kids. Giving them a ball made their day and probably their week.

[@ArtemisIsAnEra]

Hample it was great meeting you yesterday. I was the bday boy during bp in right field. Ty for the ball and signing it!😃

[@peteark1985]

i love the interaction you have with other fans and that you give balls away to kids. such a class act!

[@Logan-sj9oc]

Mike trout is the goat of baseball ⚾️ 🐐. And I still remember you Zack of catching his first career home run 🙌🙌🙌

[@CameronBurford_RB]

Just missed you I was there to watch Wyatt Langford it was a blast you need to watch him sometime he played for my travel ball organization so we all went out there a met him. Caught a big fly from him in BP and got it signed always so nice!

[@LCafran]

Zack it is a shame that you get the haters out there on social media platforms. You are an Ambassador for baseball, always pleasant, kind and a great role model. Additionally, the fact that you give away so many baseballs to people, I guarantee each person you give an MLB, baseball to, will remember that for the rest of their life in a positive light. I am originally from Levittown, LI, NY and now reside in Youngsville, NC (I am a retired military aviator…we moved from CO to NC two years ago). I recently found your channel…I love your enthusiasm for baseball. It really is contagious. As a kid we went to a lot of NY Yankees games (including the first game after Thurman Munson was killed, ceremony…they played Baltimore and Baltimore won, 1-0…Lowenstein hit a home run); also in the late 1970’s my family and I went to a number of Yankee’s playoff games…we also would watch the Mets from time to time and in late 1990’s we were in ST Louis and watched Mark McGuire slam a home run). Watching your videos brings back so many fond memories. One more thing, the only grand slam I ever witnessed in person was at Coors Field on May 4, 2013. Nolan Arenado of the Colorado Rockies hit a grand slam home run against the Tampa Bay Rays in the seventh inning.

[@Ayden_Tempesta]

This has definitely been my favorite vid so far this year Z! I love the bond you and Trouty have, not many people can say they’re friends with a star athlete, especially a super well known yet also extremely friendly one like Mike! And for those who are new here, YES! Zack really did catch his 1st career home run. The clip on MLB’s channel proves it and the blog entry from that game is seriously a great read. (Also, LOVING the Hawaiian shirt!!!)

[@zackhample]

Thanks! Glad you liked this one so much!

[@connorduffin28]

Just reached the 200 milestone on baseballs thanks Zack for inspiring me to become a ballhawk! ❤⚾️

Nice work!

Great video, as always. Glad to see you back in action. Also, I love the kid repping the Padres.

[@Monkeeyman444]

This is one of my favorite videos that you made

[@DustyMagroovy]

I love the Angels. Great to see them there with you!

[@jetman80pops]

You know what F the haters. How many kids have gotten into baseball because of your videos. To me that's not a bad thing at all. If MLB can't get young fans in time the league will suffer. Keep it up Zack.

[@zackhample]

Thanks. :)

[@jaybear57]

Don't ever let the haters stop you from doing what you are doing. The pure joy I see in all the kids when they see you, get a ball or an autograph, and especially a picture with you, speaks volumes about what you mean to them and i would say what you do for Major League Baseball. The haters and the horrible security guards (Colorado cough cough) can try and do all they can but they pale in comparison to those who love you and seeing your ball hawking skills at the stadiums. I hope someday I run into you somewhere before I finish my MLB journeys.

[@BenjaminDalton-rv5uk]

Zack Hample, I was the person in the Aaron Judge Jersey I just want you to know that I love watching your videos and that I am just shocked that I am in a youtube video!

[@wanttogetupgoahead]

Zack...you keep doing you. Love the content and enthusiasm for the best game ever conceived.

Oh look, it's the baseball warehouse.

[@poss4757]

I think Zach is a hard working American doing his job. Great for him. He Invented his own job. Been watching for years. Need more people like him.

[@matthix7403]

Mike Trout real hero

[@XandeRToXic]

No lie, meeting and photographing Zack Hample is one of the top 5 things on my bucket list. Hope to one day be able to afford a trip to a game Zack is at. The haters of Zack are only online, and not in person, because someone said something bad about him once and a lot of people can't think for themselves. I'm sure some of the people he meets in stadiums are haters, but they can't help but want a picture with him, because he is actually nice as hell. Keep up the grind, Zack.

[@swaggymelo3607]

Sounds like a pretty lame bucket list if meeting Zach hample is top 5

[@mlm1819]

Hope you will be able to check it off your bucket list one day. Everyone's bucket list is different and meaningful to them, so don't let those who question or make fun of it bring you down🤘

[@zackhample]

@@swaggymelo3607 The only lame thing here is putting negativity on other people's joy. Be better at life.

[@zackhample]

Thank you! Let's make it happen.

[@XandeRToXic]

@@swaggymelo3607 what’s pretty lame is you bashing Zack, and myself, on a Zack Hample video. Found one of the haters I was talking about.

[@omarguevara8181]

Glad to see that you have a great bond with Trout and I am hoping to see him when he comes to Houston in May when I go to see LA against Houston

Won’t lie , I was a Hample hater just because of the chatter of ball hogging and Watching your videos I have a new respect for what you do and how you go about doing it ! Thank you for just staying the same and just being cool

[@aidanfinkofficial]

I loved that guy’s reaction!

[@zackhample]

:)

[@aidanfinkofficial]

Randy is awesome. I love him ever since a game I went to at Fenway in 2021 in 10% capacity and there were these fans near me who loved him and were going crazy for him. Chanting we want Randy and Randy to Boston. Funny stuff.

[@zackhample]

Ahh that sounds like a good time!

Only natural to have haters when you reach the pinnacle of anything. As one of the best ballhawkers out there, we appreciate what you do and the perspective you bring in your videos! You deserve all the recognition and love from fans and players alike. Keep up your hard work Zack! Hope to also meet you out at a ballpark one day as well~

[@zackhample]

Well said! Thank you.

[@kylebyrne714]

Keep it up zack

[@drumz451]

Everyone thinks zack is a ballhawk for himself and only himself, but when you watch his videos and understand what hes trying to achieve, he is very considerate and knows when and where to be and knows what to do, so i think people are clearly jealous on zacks moves and skills that he brings to ballparks because he gets more toss ups or has an extra ticket or three to be in the most prime positions for balls. So before you keep judging him, hes been doing this for a very long time and knows how to act 👍

[@samanthastewart7133]

Hi Zack and I love your channel and your videos and if you keep making videos I will keep watching them and what is your favorite videos that you made on the channel and keep up the great work on your KZbin channel
