About Cole Sands's walkup

Cole Sands (Pitcher, #44) walks up to "Sandstorm" by Darude (last confirmed 2025) for the Minnesota Twins. Confirmed via SI 2025 Twins article AND Athlon Sports closer entrance songs 2026 — pun on his last name.

Minnesota walkup music spans an unusually broad range thanks to a roster with players from across the U. For more on the Twins' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Minnesota Twins walkup page.

Why "Sandstorm" works as a walkup

The synth lead is one of the most recognizable hooks in EDM. Unlike most rock entrance songs, Sandstorm scales — it gets bigger and bigger as it plays. For an extended bullpen-to-mound walk with a stadium PA, no walkup gets a crowd more amped.

Use Cole Sands'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 Sands 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 "Sandstorm" by Darude 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
