What Songs the Top MLB Players Use — And How Your Team Can Use Them
Patrick Taylor
Want your team’s walk-up music to hit like the big leaguers? The best place to start is with what the pros actually use. From Aaron Judge to Edwin Díaz, today’s MLB stars pick songs that hype the crowd and lock in their mindset — and your team can use those same tracks. Here’s a look at what the top names are walking up to, plus how your team can use them.
Aaron Judge — "Swag Surfin'" by F.L.Y. (Fast Life Yungstaz)
The New York Yankees slugger walks up to "Swag Surfin'," a hip-hop anthem that matches his confidence and swagger at the plate. The strong beat and catchy hook get Yankee Stadium on its feet every time — and it’s become one of the most recognizable walk-up songs in the game.
Freddie Freeman — "Baila Conmigo" by Dayvi & Victor Cardenas (feat. Kelly Ruiz)
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman brings Latin EDM energy with "Baila Conmigo." The track’s driving rhythm and party vibe set the tone before he steps into the box, and fans at Dodger Stadium know it by heart.
Mookie Betts — "Put It On Da Floor Again" (feat. Cardi B) by Latto & "Soul Survivor" (feat. Akon) by Jeezy
Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts rotates between two vibes: the bold, modern hit "Put It On Da Floor Again" with Cardi B and the classic "Soul Survivor" by Jeezy. Whether he’s going hype or steady, his walk-up music always fits the moment.
Edwin Díaz — "Narco" by Blasterjaxx & Timmy Trumpet
When Mets closer Edwin Díaz ran out to "Narco" at the 2022 World Baseball Classic, it became one of the most iconic entrances in baseball. The trumpet-driven EDM drop is now a stadium staple — and it’s just as effective for closers and high-leverage arms at any level.
Mike Trout — "Super Gremlin" by Kodak Black
Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout walks up to Kodak Black’s "Super Gremlin," a hard-hitting hip-hop track that brings intensity and focus. It’s a popular choice for players who want a confident, no-nonsense vibe.
Francisco Lindor — "My Girl" by The Temptations & "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor turned walk-up music into a sing-along moment with "My Girl" by The Temptations — one of the most beloved choices in the league. He also uses "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, giving him two timeless, crowd-pleasing options.
Ozzie Albies — "La Forma en Que Me Miras" by Super Yei (feat. Sammy, Myke Towers, Lenny Tavárez & Rafa Pabön)
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies brings reggaeton and Latin trap to the plate with "La Forma en Que Me Miras." The song’s energy and rhythm are perfect for players and fans who love a Latin vibe.
Austin Riley — "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" by Kelly Clarkson
Braves slugger Austin Riley walks up to Kelly Clarkson’s "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" — a motivational anthem that fits his power-hitter mentality and never-quit attitude.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — "Traigo Fuego" by Jose Peña Suazo y La Banda Gorda & "Lemonade" (feat. NAV) by Internet Money, Gunna & Don Toliver
Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. mixes Dominican merengue with modern hip-hop: "Traigo Fuego" brings fire and tradition, while "Lemonade" delivers a sleek, confident sound. Both are great examples of how pros blend culture and swagger.
Pete Alonso — "Layla" by Derek & The Dominos
Mets first baseman Pete Alonso uses the classic "Layla" by Derek & The Dominos. The iconic guitar riff is instantly recognizable and gives every at-bat a rock-concert feel — proof that the best walk-up songs don’t have to be new to hit hard.
How Your Team Can Use These Songs
You don’t have to guess what the pros use — the Baseball Walk-Up Songs app puts their walk-up music right in your pocket. Here’s how your team can find and use them.
1. Open the Pros Playlist
From the app home screen, tap Pros Playlist. You’ll see a list of MLB players, their teams, and the walk-up songs they use — the same stars and tracks you just read about, plus hundreds more.

2. Filter by team (e.g. LA Dodgers)
Tap the All Teams dropdown at the top and choose a team — for example, Los Angeles Dodgers. The list updates to show only that team’s players and their songs. Use this to build a Dodgers-themed playlist or to copy your favorite team’s vibe.

3. Search for a player or song
Use the search bar to type a player’s name (like "Aaron Judge" or "Freddie Freeman") or a song title (like "Swag Surfin'" or "Narco"). Results appear as you type so you can jump straight to the track you want.
4. Preview and add to your player
Each song has a play button so you can preview it, and a + button to add it. Tap + and the song is assigned to the player you’re editing. You can add the same song to multiple players or mix pro picks with your own choices from Apple Music, SoundCloud, or the app’s curated Ballpark Beats.

That’s it — no digging through playlists or guessing. The Pros Playlist is updated with current MLB walk-up songs so you can keep your team’s music in sync with what the pros are using.
