About David Bednar's walkup

David Bednar (Pitcher, #53) walks up to "Renegade" by Styx (last confirmed 2025) for the New York Yankees. Confirmed via SI/Gary Phillips X post — kept his Pirates entrance with Yankees after 2025 trade. Athlon Sports 2026 closer roundup also confirms.

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 David Bednar'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 Bednar 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 "Renegade" by Styx 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
