Some baseball players capture fans’ attention with their performance, while others do so with swagger and moxie.
But some players simply capture attention by what walk-up song they have when they’re stepping in the batter’s box. Here are 10 Alabama baseball player walk-up songs ranked from worst to best.
- “Cowgirls (feat. ERNEST)” by Morgan Wallen (Garrett Staton, infielder)
Staton’s choice of this song off Wallen’s most recent album, “One Thing at a Time,” falls in last place on this list. It still delivers a decent tune that most country fans will appreciate.
- “Country Must Be Country Wide” by Brantley Gilbert (Coleman Mizell, outfielder)
The name of the song is quite fitting, as this tune definitely sounds more “country” than any other on the list. It’s a solid tune that fans of the genre will enjoy, and it has good backing instrumentals.
- “Solo” by Future (Bryce Fowler, OF)
One of Future’s most popular songs, “Solo” is an all-around fundamentally good song and is a common walk-up song for baseball. Fans of the track will certainly appreciate Fowler’s use of it, and it’s a solid choice overall.
- “Hay Que Bueno” by KD One and PV Aparataje (Jason Torres, IF)
Torres delivers a song that will be very catchy to the average fan. The Latin hip-hop track is a fun tune with a strong, up-tempo beat.
- “Back it up and Dump it (Dump Truck)” by GC Eternal (Brennan Norton, IF)
This song will catch the attention of people who use TikTok, as this track at one time was very popular on the app. Although the lyrics are quite blunt and vulgar, it still delivers a very catchy, fun and memorable track.
- “Fortunate Son” by Creedence Clearwater Revival (Will Hodo, IF/OF)
“Fortunate Son” can get any person pumped up and excited, and it is a very strong choice by Hodo. The song delivers great lyrics, has strong instrumentals, and immediately grabs your attention in a way that only certain songs can.
- “Mera Woo” by El Alfa (Richie Bonomolo Jr, outfielder)
Another fun Latin hip-hop tune, “Mera Woo” is one that the Crimson Tide dugout claps along to. It’s catchy, gets fans into it and is a great choice by Bonomolo Jr.
- “Cabo” by Koe Wetzel (Brady Neal, catcher/IF)
This is the part of the list where the songs get much stronger. Neal’s choice, one of Wetzel’s best songs, has solid instrumentals, is a catchy track that certainly grabs attention from fans in a positive way, and delivers a strong mix of country and rock.
- “Stranglehold” by Ted Nugent (Kade Snell, OF)
The most popular song in Nugent’s discography comes off excellently as a walk-up song for Alabama’s captain in Snell. The strong guitar in this track, along with a great vocal performance by Nugent, gives fans a very enjoyable listen.
- “Ain’t It Fun” by Paramore (Justin Lebron, IF)
It’s fitting that one of the biggest stars in college baseball also has the best walk-up song on the Crimson Tide, and it might not be that close. Simply put, “Ain’t It Fun” is by an excellent band that most music fans will appreciate and immediately makes them want to sing along. It’s as close to a perfect walk-up song as it gets.
