What is Cade Smith's walk-up song?

Cade Smith's walk-up song is "Fire It Up" by Thousand Foot Krutch, last confirmed in 2026 with the Cleveland Guardians. Hear the 30-second preview below before picking it for your own team. Smith plays pitcher and wears #36. As a pitcher, Smith'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).

Cleveland walkups are split between José Ramírez's Latin selections (which have ranged from bachata to reggaeton) and the rest of the roster's mixed bag. For more on the Guardians' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Cleveland Guardians walkup page.

Use Cade Smith'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 Smith 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 "Fire It Up" by Thousand Foot Krutch 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
