- MOST. FUN. DAY. EVER.
Getting to hang at Wrigley Field and play baseball with an All-Star major leaguer? Are you kidding?! Willson Contreras is the nicest guy, and it was great to spend time with him. After playing catch to get loose, he gave me some defensive tips behind the plate, and then we took batting practice. I came close to hitting a few balls out; he launched several moonshots deep into the bleachers . . . of course. He's a beast, and it was fun to talk baseball with him and experience his athleticism up close.

This video was filmed on August 9, 2018. Thanks to everyone for watching!
I sit in the bleachers at Wrigley a lot, and whenever Wilson comes out early before the game to warm up the starter, I can just see how genuine and amazing he is. He always talks to people in the bleachers and has a great time with us. It's so amazing to have this guy on my favorite team.
I'm so glad to hear that he's friendly to everyone all the time -- and not surprised.
Nice job zack!
jr132 lol Willson is the same guy who throws baseballs 100+ MPH into the stands in Busch. Also the same guy who said he was better than Yadi. He isn't.
Cy Mikolas looks like we have a salty cardinals fan, who tf cares if he throws baseballs 100+ MPH into the stands? And im pretty sure he is now as good as Yadi because hes aging and Wilson is playing just as well as him rn.
Cubs Baseball Yadi's stats are better. And the problem with throwing a ball 100+ MPH in the stands is that somebody could get hurt. Remember last year when a ball got hit in the stands and nearly killed a child?
How do you stay hydrated? “lots of water” Zack:And a lot of Gatorade too” Man these paid promotions 🤣
Ikr lol
Before I saw this comment all I could think was wow me and this person think a like
Lol
Best Gatorade Commercial Ever
Now THAT'S the right attitude.
Yes
Yes
Fac
Lol
Man Wilson Contreras just seems like an all around genuine guy. Awesome!
All of zack's hits: **thud**
All of Willson's hits: **a whole freaking thunder clap**
The amount of forced Gatorade references has me dead.
77th like
“Ill grab you a gatorade, you look like you need one” 💀
Damn Zack can Wilson get a word in?? Hella interrup..*INTERUPTING*-Zack
I thought the same.
7:20 “I’ll grab you a Gatorade” what a kiss up and he seems so annoyed
It's an ad 😂
I sure could go for a Powerade right about now
Miguel Martinez
lol
Sox fan?

Miguel Martinez lol
Really cool of make a wish for doing this
PhillyBoysRBack 💀💀💀💀💀
LMAOOOOO
lmfao
😂😂
😂
3:50
"and a lot of gatorade too, right?"
*cashier sounds *
Alright Zach we get the point but let Wilson speak for God sake 🙏
RiverBoy P THANK YOU SOMEONE SAID IT😂😂
My son never stopped smiling while we were watching this! Wilson is one of his favorite players and that was a great chance to see him be a “regular guy”. Great show!!!!
I don’t think Wilson said three words before zack cut him off
Usually while plugging Gatorade
Williston is trying to finish a scentence but Zach keeps on cutting him of
If I got 100 dollars every time he interrupted Wilson I would have 1000 dollars
Z Porple 😂 4:05
ze poopoo
He was trying to hard with the whole Gatorade thing
2 major memories from wrigley:
1. Nailed with a foul ball in the head
2. Going on the field and getting to play and hit (I was 5 for 1 and 6-7 for the second)
I like how Zack just interrupts Wilson in like the first part of the video
He kept speaking over him
Could barely understand him to begin with.
You were annoying Wilson you were interrupting him so much
Mr yeet you were annoying him so much
Dude shut up Wilson had no problem you just wish you could be Zack
I’m not saying bad things about him I’m just saying he should let him speak
We did several takes. I needed to step up and help get through it.
Hey Zach man what’s up I love your vids love ya man I don’t have any thing against you man sorry for my comment
Willson says "We are going to have fun first". What a gem! Best of luck Willson!
I love my Cubbies. We are so lucky to have so many standout guys like Wilson. And Im not just talking great players. I mean sincerely genuine Men of Character. The entire game needs more of what we have been blessed with in Wrigleyville.
"Why is he able to do that but I can't?" LOL😂😂😂
3:50 nice ad placement, zack lol
4:50 when he hit the ball I flinched 😂😂😂
You can tell Gatorade sponsored it😅
The Kirkland Bombers he literally said it
I know my point is if he didn't say it you would still know😂
This changed my whole perspective on Willson, I’m a die hard Cardinals fan but I have a whole new perspective on him. He’s just awesome.
I'm glad to hear that.
Well, he's on your team now.
MLB community needs more videos like this. Love it when players get involved. Good video Zack - DW 🤘🏻
Thanks, DW.
I love you dawson
He was trying sooo hard with adding little things about Gatorade. lol
“Woooo what a day. First id like to thank my sponsor over at Gatorade. Without them we couldn’t be here. Felt good all day ya know. Hydration was key. Replenishing those electrolytes we lost helped keep the swings going. Great performance.”
The shameless advertising at 3:50 got me 🤣🤣
Probably one of the best baseball videos on RUclips. Zack, you really should do more interviews with the players and instructional videos on baseball if you can.
1189paris the best
I would love to.
3:51 shameless plug for the sponsor lmaoooo great video tho zack GO CUBS!
I was at Wrigley Field about an hour after he filmed this and I found a ball in the bushes outside of the stadium on Waveland Avenue.
Wilson Contreras is a rising star in mlb. His story of his journey to the mlb is amazing. I love this guy he can definitely be a future Hall of famer

Zack after every drill:"gatorade"
Wilson was so chill that’s dope 😂
How many times he cut him off
👇
Wdym
@@d.stillman he kept cutting Wilson off
I dont think you could interrupt him more in the beginning
We did several takes. I needed to step up and help get through it.
Wrigley field is a magical place of history.
Zack: I do not have a protective cup today
Wilson: Looks down
My guy Willson can’t get a sentence out
This is actually a really cool video. No one else gets to get this close with major leaguers. I wish more players were willing to make videos like this.
Have Gatorade pay them some money and they will. :)
Thanks, glad you liked it.
The Gatorade plugs were super awkward. Wilson was a great sport though!
“i’m just as tall how am I not hitting like you?”
Jose Altuve: Hold my buzzer
The shameless gatorade plugs😂
There is no such thing as hyperbole when it comes to describing the thought of getting to have this experience. Holy sh*t!
Ha, well said, my friend.
What a good guy Willson seems to be... I can't believe you didn't give him a grape Gatorade!!
When he was tryin to get him to talk about gatorade
This player is a fucking sick guy, so polite and open to listen
When people dont realize this was a Gatorade promotion
Contreras says he has 2 Gatorades per inning. That’s 18 per game 😂Wilson is crazy
July 2019 anyone
Zach you interrupt too much when someone else speaks
Class act player! Cubbies are lucky to have him
Zack is so lucky, I've always dreamed of going down on the field at Wrigley and meeting players. I'm planning on becoming a ball boy so that dream may come true.
Good luck. :)
One of my favorite Zach Hample videos. I'm from Connecticut, a Yankees fan like my dad. I'm 63 years old, my wife and my kids/grands know this is one of my most favorite channels. And yes, my grands love our Zach Hample bobblehead.
Willson Contreras gave me a ball when he was playing in AA with the Tennessee Smokies. Who knew then what he would become
Sounds a bit different coming off the bat from him
You think
This wasn't a bad sponsered video honestly. I enjoyed watching it even though I knew the Gatorade sponsorship was all over it. Good job Hample!
Thanks! Glad you get it.
The people who disliked this video are haters. Real genuine guy with a lot of knowledge of the game. Good video zack!
I agree and thanks.
Since I saw him debut i always saw potential in him and I met him and got his autograph at spring training and he is a really nice guy
“Don’t try and hit a home run.” They shoulda talked abt javy lol
Not a Cubs fan, but I know Willson Contreras is one of the best catchers in the league
If he could frame as well as he throws, he would be!
"Im up there no pressure!"
Instantly kills the cameraman
Nighthawk7x20 lol
You’re so lucky! I was on the field once for a tour when I was 6, but to play with Willson Contreras takes that to a completely different level! He’s one of my favorite players and I think it’s so awesome you got to meet him.
Thanks! Very lucky. Glad you enjoyed this.
Wilson comes across as a great guy
Great job Zack And I like your every video on baseball games then i have a dream become a baseball player in future ⚾👏👍
Thank you! And good luck.
7:54 😂 come on Zack
What a great guy he is! He's also a beast an one of the best catchers
The hitting tips were simple but the catching tips were fenominal
We get it.. Gatorade sponsored the video.
Contreras is my favorite catcher
Zach- Asks how you stay hydrated Contreras- I drink a lot of water the night before and all day Zach- *Realizes he’s being paid by Gatorade* “And I’m sure a lot of Gatorade to right” 😂😂 Goofy ass
Don’t tell me I’m the only one who heard him say the poo poo when Zack asked him what his favorite Gatorade flavor was
3:51 This portion of the video is presented by Gatorade. Gatorade, because water isn’t good enough
God bless them both, such humble people!
Aww, I appreciate that.
Hey Zach, I know this an old video but how amazing was this!!! Willson Contreras is one of the most humble players out there!!!
He hits three balls....
Zach: You look like you need a Gatorade
Looks like he is trying to hard for his sponsor
Looks like gatorate was the sponsor just guessing tho
This video is so good. It has helped me out and practice this stuff everyday.
4:05 you’re welcome
Zacks Gatorade comments are pretty damn irritating lol
You're so lucky man! He's one of my favorite players! I wish I could meet him and javy someday
Good luck. I hope it happens for you.
Zack Hample thank you so much! Love watching your videos by the way
Zack: “This catcher has the best arm in the mlb
Yadier Molina: “I’m I a joke to you?”
Wilson Contreras is an all around good player
#GoCubsGo
Yup!!
Zack Hample Oh. My. Gosh. It's Zach Hample. You actually replied
Damn Zack let him talk
Miguel Mendoza I lnow
Zack hample is the best congrats willie for making 2018 and2019 starting catcher go cubs🐻🔥⚾️ let’s win a championship 🏆🥇🏅🎖
that is great biggest Cubs fan ever I did not get to go to Wrigley as much after I left the city but when I was living there i went to so many games love it!
Who shakes there Gatorade before drinking it
Just dont drink to much Gatorade , I have a friend who would drink 5 a day and ended up a diabetic and lost his toe
L
O

I framed houses for 3 years. I would drink 10-12 a day! We started to make a 5gallon cooler full of extra strong blue powder, added 5-6redbull and 4-5redline for energy! 3 of us would kill that 5galons in a day! Easy!
Highly recommend Kangen water!!!! It could improve overall health!
wilson is the most honest person
If Murray from impractical jokers was obsessed with baseball
Lol
Willy is my favorite player in the whole league! Go Cubbies!
Can we admire how straight Wilson's hairline is
When wilson said he liked the purple gatorade i was like hes the fucking best catcher ever
Contreras said hi to me!
I swear this dude gets to do the coolest shit every single video. My dream is just to be able to be down on the field at Dodger stadium let alone taking catching and batting practice.
I've been on Angel field and I will tell you this it's larger than you think
