About Ben Rice's walkup

Ben Rice (First Baseman, #22) walks up to "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1" by Kanye West (last confirmed 2026) for the New York Yankees. Confirmed via WalkUpDB X post (April 2026).

Yankee Stadium walkup music is anchored by hip hop, classic rock, and Bob Sheppard's posthumous announcements — most famously Derek Jeter's, which played for years after Sheppard's death. For more on the Yankees' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the New York Yankees walkup page.

Use Ben Rice'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 Rice 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.

1. Build your roster in Walkup Pro
2. Search "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1" by Kanye West and assign it to the player who picked it
3. Set a custom trim point so only the best 15-20 seconds plays — most often the chorus or the drop, not the intro
4. Connect a Bluetooth speaker at the field and tap to play on game day
