What is AJ Blubaugh's walk-up song?
AJ Blubaugh's walk-up song is "Gonna Fly Now - Theme From "Rocky"" by Bill Conti, last confirmed in 2026 with the Houston Astros. Hear the 30-second preview below, plus the earlier walk-up we have on record. Blubaugh plays pitcher and wears #69. As a pitcher, Blubaugh's song plays as he takes the mound — his entrance music and walk-up song are one and the same. Confirmed on the official MLB walk-up music page (2026-10-15).
Houston walkup music leans Latin and country — Yordan Alvarez and José Altuve anchor a Latin-heavy walkup playlist, while the Texas-born players bring country picks. For more on the Astros' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Houston Astros walkup page.

Use AJ Blubaugh's walkup style for your team
Whether you coach Little League, travel ball, high school, or college baseball, picking a walkup song from a star like Blubaugh is one of the cleanest ways to give a kid confidence at the plate. The trick: most MLB walkups need a careful trim point — the 15-second window is rarely the song's first 15 seconds.
