What is Chris Roycroft's walk-up song?

Chris Roycroft's walk-up song is "Check My Brain" by Alice In Chains, last confirmed in 2026 with the Athletics. Hear the 30-second preview below before picking it for your own team. Roycroft plays pitcher and wears #56. As a pitcher, Roycroft'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 (2026-09-27).

The Athletics' walkup culture is in a transition era — between the Oakland Coliseum and a Sacramento home in 2025-2027 before Las Vegas, the team's walkup moments have been quieter than usual. For more on the Athletics' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Athletics walkup page.

Use Chris Roycroft'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 Roycroft 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 "Check My Brain" by Alice In Chains 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
