What is David Peterson's walk-up song?

David Peterson's walk-up song is "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, last confirmed in 2026 with the Chicago Cubs. Hear the 30-second preview below, plus the earlier walk-up we have on record. Peterson plays pitcher and wears #19. As a pitcher, Peterson'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).

Wrigley Field walkup music is constrained by the stadium's quirky old PA system — songs with cleaner mixes work much better than bass-heavy tracks. For more on the Cubs' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Chicago Cubs walkup page.

How "Simple Man" compares across MLB

"Simple Man" is a 1973 Rock track running 5:57, from All Time Greatest Hits. One other big leaguer uses it too. Lynyrd Skynyrd is the walk-up pick of 7 players across 5 clubs.

Use David Peterson'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 Peterson 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 "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd 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
