Juice Unlocked gets tossed as umpire at Unity in the Community softball game

A roughly 2-minute-15-second selfie-style recap narrated by Juice Unlocked, who wears a white Catalyst jersey with the number 420. He walks into Hudson Park in Long Beach, greets people near the team tents, shows a phone with an Angels logo while talking about an Angels version of the jersey, then umpires from behind the plate. The clip shows a home run, push-ups at third base and players arguing his calls, then team photos and players ribbing him after he was pulled as umpire.

Juice Unlocked showed up to a community softball game and ended up behind the plate. The third annual "Unity in the Community" game was put together by @longbeach_carlos and Catalyst (@catalystforthepeople), and the umpire job landed on Juice Unlocked with no warning.

It didn't last. "I was making so many controversial calls," he says in the recap reel, which Juice Unlocked posted May 3, 2026. By the end, "they actually kicked me out from being the umpire."

The game

Early in the clip, a sign reads "Hudson Park, City of Long Beach." Teams in matching baseball jerseys set up pop-up tents near the field.

One player hit a home run on his first try, and Juice Unlocked credited him with "really putting on for Santana." Another dropped for push-ups at third base.

The Bootleggers won, he says. He jokes that he "had it a little bit rigged."

“They didn't give me no warning. I didn't even know what I was doing. But, hey, man, it's for the community.”

Catalyst jerseys and an OC ask

Catalyst sponsored the event. Juice Unlocked wore a white Catalyst jersey with blue script, an LA logo and the number 420, and said an Angels version is "coming soon." His message to the brand: "We need love out here, too."

In the caption, Juice Unlocked asked followers if they would come out to a similar event in Orange County that summer. The post did not announce an OC date.

“They got the Angels version of the Catalyst jerseys coming soon. They showing love to Orange County, y'all.”

“They literally kicked me out. Y'all, they kicked me out, man. They said I wasn't a good umpire.”
