This is the greatest video in the history of Major League Baseball. Also, hi, everybody!

[joaquimneto]

Funny that the guy who caught this Home Run also caught A-Rod's #3000 hit and Bonds #724.

[shaneta]

You can never give Zach Hample that much room. He is the GOAT.

[mudturkey]

[lameloball]

Little did we know, this homerun would create 3 legends

[MrChip]

[plfrofr]

Mike Trout kicks ass in Baltimore. He had that amazing catch a year later!

[jackblandina]

Something tells me this kid is going to be good.

[Antonio_Talavera]

[TFordSuperstar]

Best part of this video? Zack Hample was only on screen for about 2 seconds.

[aarezland]

Lol 90% of the comments are Zach Hample caught it

[tanke]

Zack Hample MUST be a time traveler. How is he always in the perfect spot for the major hits? 🤔🤔🤔

[tylersteres]

You either came here to see Trout’s first homer or Zack Hample. Nothing else

[dcflow]

His story is super inspirational!! My favorite player

[RockOrgan]

I searched “MIKE TROUT FIRST MLB HOMER” and everything that came up was Zach Hample

[bearfan]

I was in a suite just up and to the left! What a fantastic moment!

[floorticket]

I'm freaking "Zaprudering" Hample's movements now. At about three seconds in he's in frame and is already moving, maybe stationed himself on the aisle along with the other ball hawk a row below him. Zack of course hopping back a row to make the catch was brilliant. And the exuberance of the other hawk after the catch seems genuine.

MLB posted this 1 day before the exact day i was born

[brentmcmillin]

I mean we’re not surprised that Zack Hample caught his first home run props to him😎

[Son-Of-David]

Bro how tf is Zack hample a gold glover in the stands hopping over ppl and seats, yet hasn't crossed any scouts mind how well he would probably do in a flat open field?
