Hear the 30-second preview below before picking it for your own team. Murphy plays pitcher and wears #38. As a pitcher, Murphy'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).
Chicago walkup culture on the South Side is rooted in 1970s organist Nancy Faust, who effectively invented modern walkup music by playing themed riffs for individual White Sox players. For more on the White Sox' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Chicago White Sox walkup page.

Whether you coach Little League, travel ball, high school, or college baseball, picking a walkup song from a star like Murphy 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.
