I've watched a lot of Zack's videos today and one thing is constant, he always gives all or almost all of the balls he catches to young kids. How could anyone dislike him for that? The sheer number of kids that come up and want a picture with him or his autograph is amazing. He is an ambassador for baseball fans to MLB.

The father & son connection is awesome! :) Tyler Kepner said it perfectly! :) He turned his passion into 150,000 dollars to charity. Awesome! Did anyone notice him giving one away to that kid? Thumbs up.

That is awesome that he gave Mike Trout the ball and then stuck it to Arod! This just goes to show you Zack is a true baseball fan ilmao.

As a new fan of baseball, I can say it was zack and his KZread that got me to be a fan of the sport. As a motor sports fan primarily, I’m begging for more enthusiastic fans to make content and grow sports all together, because sadly not every League or promotion can actively gain new fans through this content driven society

Zack is the perfect fan for baseball. I hope the teams see him and recognize him more. This is stuff that fans love man. Zack keep rocking it bro, it took me awhile to sub to you, but you have a great personality and I hope the league / teams hook you up more. Your better than reporters bud.

Baseball is an amazing game! As a fan no other game can offer what baseball offers. You can get closer to the players, talk to them, get autographs, take pictures, play catch in some cases, and if a ball comes at you, you get to keep it. Like Zack said it can feel as if you're part of the game. Anybody can go to the team store and buy a baseball, but to catch one or have a major league baseball player hit one or throw one to you is special. No other sport will ever come close!

Only recently started watching Zack’s videos. I am a fan of this dude though. His love for the game is pure. He is passionate about what he’s doing. People who say he is greedy clearly don’t notice or care that he gives away more than he keeps. He gives back first home run balls, or career milestone balls to the players. He truly understands the importance of it. 10,000+ lifetime baseballs, that’s a feat. People throw shade cuz they’re jealous. I’m jealous too, but I think it’s awesome. Keep it going man. Congratulations on all your success, I wish I could go to as many games as you even if I didn’t catch 1% of the balls you have caught.

It was riveting to hear his mom say that only he knows when it'll be time to say it's enough and only he can make that determination.
