I saved this woman’s life at Camden Yards
well hello everybody from Baltimore Zach hample here at Camden Yards and I’m talking quietly because just follow me this way I’m on this Terrace here and there’s all this glass behind me and I’ll show you what it looks like out this way now if I were to talk very loud like this it might be kind of echoey echo yeah so we’re just bringing it down a bit anyway as we have some noisy Sirens passing by in the background this is a Saturday so it’s the one day of the week hey I’m being quiet why don’t you be quiet it’s the one day of the week when this Stadium opens 2 hours early so the weather is not great today but it’s good enough that I think there should be batting practice so hopefully I’ll see both teams hit snag a few baseballs before the game starts and then hopefully catch a home run during the game so let’s head on inside still o Sanders what’s up guys up wow this one is brand new we like that one hey would you like a ball got it who hit that one adley retman hit that thank you all right now is it rocker wizard skill let go Baby C was in locker skill carart thank you sir Ben carart the man as always so for the first eight row [Music] we got a bunch of lefties up there in the cage for the Orioles so I feel like there’s so much potential on the flag court but so far all the home runs have gone into the seats so yeah it’s already tough to see the batter with just a wall of bodies at the railing in front but you know we’ll see what [Music] happens my what’s up how you feeling I feel great how are you feeling good guys happy hour $5 beer $5 beer happy hour folks well I had a nice burst of action early on during Orioles batting practice but I got to say I’m pretty disappointed with how things wrapped up so many left-handed batters and only one home run that reached the flag court and that barely reached so you know I was camping out at the back and I had no chance to make a play on it so things just died for me in the second and third groups but that’s just how it goes sometimes and for right now the dback have just taken the field you can maybe see way off in the distance behind me they’re playing catch so sorry Orioles fans but I am going to change hats put on the Dbacks cap and hopefully get some toss-ups and maybe some more home runs once they start hitting [Music] he’s next I hate them [Applause] Inc Inc yeah I decided to give up on left field it is just a wasteland out there and Corbin Carol is in this group so I feel like the flag Court might be the spot is definitely the spot yeah we’ll find out in just a sec hey last guys right here get all the that’s cool out of Fe last call yeah it’s a lefty it’s a lefty finally a little action where we go on the flag Court want the ball all right well that one felt really good and if we take another look at it in slow motion you can see that I saved a woman from getting smoked in the back of the head and I just got to say that it is extra fun for me to pick out a spot strategically and then have a ball hit pretty much exactly to that spot but you know of course I was being strategic for all of BP and there were only a couple of moments when it paid off but hey I’ll take it and now look the Orioles well they have a tremendous offense this season but it was the Dbacks who put on a much better show today at least so far so we’ll see how that translates to the game itself I ended up with three baseballs and that DB hat that I was wearing did absolutely no good so I’m going to be rocking the Orioles hat for the rest of the day no MLB logo just this repping the O’s here at Oro Park so we got about 25 minutes till game time might wander a little bit before first pitch and then it will be the flag court for me and hopefully like I’ve been saying catching some dingers [Applause] [Music] wait can I get a picture [Applause] your or short stop number two [Applause] I see the ball go up and I Flinch and then it’s like oh yeah Co that was a foul ball to the first base side first inning is done there is no score and it’s all righ’s coming up for Arizona in the top of the second so let’s just creep into foul territory raise the high in the air [Applause] [Music] for the second straight day catel Marte has gone yard today it was a two-run shot and so that just put the Dbacks on top two to one we’re in the bottom of the third right now my little Junt into foul territory before yielded nothing but next inning in the top of the fourth of the Dbacks it’s all righties again so I’m going to go back over there John memes the Oriol starter has a crazy ground ball to flyball ratio guys especially swing underneath his pitches or I guess I should do it with a right-handed swing so I think we have gunar Henderson coming up so I’m going to spring back into action out here but yeah I do like the chances of there being foul balls over to the first base eye when the Dbacks are up I stand table oh yeah the 80 [Applause] F territory here we go Orioles tied it up two to two now [Applause] all right right how about that Christian Walker look at this logo completely smudged off that’s cool and that is why you go into foul territory when you’re on the flag court and it’s a whole inning full of writings wo to ice cold F hey man I watch your video on YouTube hey you want a baseball wow hey it’s the guy from YouTube what’s up buddy Z yeah that that was a Christian Walker foul ball all right here take a picture guys thanks I apprciate all right tonight the or [Music] got 3 in one count right now to Corbin Carrol top five Bas is loaded yeah that was a sack fly so Arizona just took the lead they’re now winning 3-2 [Applause] [Music] there little [Music] crowded might run out there [Applause] 411 ft that’s how far gunar Henderson solo Homer just went and he hit it to right center field so I had no chance to catch that one it landed in the very crowded seats out there and so bottom five right now and Dbacks are winning by one run 4 to [Applause] three all these weathermen are like I told you it was going to [Music] rain top of the eighth inning right now Arizona is still holding on to a 4 to3 lead and all I can say is there’s not’s go that guy’s feeling it yet there’s not a whole lot of game remaining for me to catch a long ball so let’s see it he says there’s plenty of baseball baseball left’s go I feel likeu what’s up up this guy’s the man how we doing good so you know just just kicking it here waiting for something to develop go [Applause] baby come on that yeah baby come on we winning this year it’s all us baby it’s all us come on come well the fans were super fired up after that because that home run kicked by Anthony santand tied the game in the eighth inning 4 to four and actually right now we’re in the top of the 10 so it’s going to come right down to the wire maybe maybe there’s a walk-off home run to be caught but whatever happens it’s going to be exciting [Applause] [Applause] small [Applause] and there it is Orioles Magic on full display here with a walk-off win in the bottom of the 11th that was Jordan Westberg with the game-winning hit plating the ghost Runner Colton cower and man this one was full of exciting moments including seeing both rookies of the Year from last season going head-to-head Corbin Carrol for Arizona and Mr gunar Henderson for the O’s shout out to Craig Kimbrell who picked up the win in relief after pitching a scoreless top of the 11 and Westberg deserves an even bigger shout out for collecting four hits today final score Orioles five Diamondbacks four and those four runs for Arizona well that matches my baseball total so those four bring my lifetime total to 12522 and it was a really fun day for me but unfortunately there were no home runs for me to catch I was really hoping that cower would deposit a walk-off brand slam right to me in the middle of the flag cord but he couldn’t get it done anyway this day started off beautiful and now it is really coming down so I got to go but thank you guys so much for watching goodbye
PEOPLE!! YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION!! This home run was heading right toward the back of this woman’s head, and okay, she probably wouldn’t have actually died if it hit her, but it would NOT have been good. She freaked out as the ball was coming in, and she thanked me after I caught it — and then I handed it to a young fan, so everyone ended up happy.
The Orioles also made people happy with their extra-inning victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Gunnar Henderson and Anthony Santander hit home runs (as did Ketel Marte for the D’backs), but Jordan Westburg was da real MVP, picking up four hits including the game-winner in the bottom of the 11th.
This game took place on May 11, 2024. The video was filmed and edited by Rachel Messbauer. Thanks for watching!

No views in 35 seconds? He really fell of
Zack, I definitely think you should show up to Joe Mauer Day at Target Field because it will be like Jim Kaat Day with the rare commerative baseballs
The GOAT is here
Let’s go Zack!!
Hi
Compared to how the last game went, super happy this one was much more action packed for you Zack! Also super glad that the lady you saved was very thankful for you saving her, I hate when people get mad about stuff like that…
It is always important to try to be as aware as possible with what is happening around you.
Zack saves my intention span and now lives, he is a hero🫡
Puerto Rico 🔥
Hey Zack I went to the Braves vs Pirates game saw Chris Sale pitch 7 innings 8 strikeouts 1 earn run and they won 8-1 and I got my first ever game ball thrown up by a Pirates player
5:16 Bad break, rolled instead of staying for you but you probably would've given it to the kid anyway.

My HERO ❤

I love Camden yards! Beautiful ballpark and the fans are great!
“yall ladies alright?”
If zack see's this, how do you predict where homeruns will land? I was at big 12 semifinal and oklahoma hit a walk off homerun vs kansas right to me and it went right off my glove
Dear Haters: Zack Hample is saving lives by catching baseballs.
were going to cincy in sept reds vs braves see you there zack?
Zack gets the foul ball!! 13:05
Zack what you did after that catch with that ball was epic! Surprising that father with his two kids by giving them the ball. 13:38
Proud of Zack
Great video and congrats on the foul ball. Only Aidan knew you got a foul ball at this game before the video was posted. Had a close call myself yesterday at Citi Field on a ricochet that then bounced off a seat in my row with the entire row empty, but it bounced way too quickly and I couldn’t get there in time. Bounced a few rows in front of me. But I did get to see the Giants, so I have now seen all 30 teams at least once! Came up short on getting the city connect ball, but it’s alright cause I can always go to another Saturday game. Got two balls despite a day game with no BP.
May 11th (the date this video was filmed on) is a very great date. In recent years— May 11, 2021— The first time we met in person at Fenway, May 11, 2022— You finally got Joc Pederson to sign your 9,000th ball at Oracle Park, and May 11, 2024— You saved a woman’s life at Camden Yards and snagged a foul ball.
zack,
will you be at the london series this year
mets vs phillies
june 8-9???
I love the shirt!
Stop being a bum n go to colorado again smh. Bein a baby over security doing their job n too ego hurt to go back
Great catch
7:00 is the moment in question here.
Camden Yards is such a beautiful ballpark and the fans in the video are great! I will give all of your videos higher rankings if you show up with me to Joe Mauer Day at Target Field it will have commerative baseballs basically like the ones at Jim Kaat Day super rare balls. Love the video great work! Final Ranking is 7!
