The walk-up song is a time-honored tradition in Major League Baseball, offering players a brief moment in the big game to express themselves—and oftentimes their culture or state—by way of song. A great walk-up song has the power to get fans up on their feet, maybe intimidate the pitcher and make that long walk from the on-deck circle to the batter's box a walk that inspires confidence and a bit of swagger. While some players opt for viral guilty pleasures, an unexpected slow jam or the not-so-subtly smug, most players pick beats that get their adrenaline going and the crowd jumping, making them perfect for cardio or HIIT workouts. To celebrate the return of America’s National Past Time, we pulled together a spring soundtrack featuring a walk-up song from one player on each team in Major League Baseball. These are the songs that get baseball’s All-Stars, Golden Glove winners, Rookie of the Year recipients and popular players pumped when they step into the batter’s box, so pop in your headphones and find out if they have the right stuff to get your heart pumping, too.
