The Best Christian Walkup Songs for Baseball & Softball (2026)

Christian and faith-based walkup songs are one of the fastest-growing categories in baseball — driven almost entirely by Forrest Frank's emergence as the most-used walkup artist in youth baseball in 2026. The appeal is simple: high energy, clean lyrics, real artistry. Faith-based walkups give players a song they connect with personally, parents can enjoy, and league rules will always allow.

The Forrest Frank effect

No artist has impacted walkup music in 2026 the way Forrest Frank has. He has three songs in the all-genre top 20 across MLB and youth baseball combined — more than any other current artist. His tracks fill a specific gap that didn't exist before: high-energy hooks, faith-based lyrics, and production that holds up against any pop or hip hop walkup.

For youth and travel ball especially — where parents want songs that are both hype and appropriate — Forrest Frank has become the default recommendation. If you're picking your first walkup song and you want something safe but actually good, start here.

• Up! (with Connor Price) — the song that broke through to baseball and softball TikTok
• YOUR WAY'S BETTER — slower, more personal, but still has the hook
• HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH (with Torey D'Shaun) — the most "walkup-coded" of his catalog

Christian walkups by vibe

• Up! — Forrest Frank & Connor Price
• The Anthem — Planetshakers
• Welcome to the Show — Britt Nicole
• Run Devil Run — Crowder

Confidence / identity

For players who want the walkup to say something about who they are — what they stand for, where they come from.

• Greater — MercyMe
• King of Kings — Hillsong Worship
• City on Our Knees — TobyMac
• Hills and Valleys — Tauren Wells

Crossover / not strictly Christian but works

Songs that aren't on a Christian record label but have spiritual themes and clean lyrics. Often even better walkup material because they have wider crowd recognition.

• God's Country — Blake Shelton
• God's Plan — Drake
• Believer — Imagine Dragons
• The Champion — Carrie Underwood ft. Ludacris
• Eye of the Tiger — Survivor

Worship / motivational

Slower BPM but still rises. Good for at-bats where you want the moment to feel meaningful, not chaotic.

• Made for More — Josh Baldwin
• Stronger — Hillsong
• Dare You to Move — Switchfoot
• Eye of the Storm — Ryan Stevenson

Why Christian walkups are growing in 2026

• The Forrest Frank wave. One artist creating consistently great walkup-coded music has dragged the whole genre into the mainstream.
• Clean by default. No need to find a clean version. No worrying about lyrics getting flagged. Whatever your league rules are, Christian walkups are always allowed.
• Personal meaning. A walkup song says something about the player. For Christian players, picking a faith-based song is a quiet but real form of expression.
• Crowd reaction. Many baseball communities have strong faith ties — particularly in the south and midwest. A Christian walkup gets the crowd more than people expect.
