What is Griffin Jax's walk-up song?

Griffin Jax's walk-up song is "The Needle And The Spoon" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, last confirmed in 2026 with the Tampa Bay Rays. Hear the 30-second preview below before picking it for your own team. Jax plays pitcher and wears #22. As a pitcher, Jax'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).

Tampa Bay walkups don't get the same media coverage as bigger-market teams, but the Rays roster has historically run one of the most diverse walkup playlists in MLB — Latin, hip hop, country, rock, all in rotation across a single lineup. For more on the Rays' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Tampa Bay Rays walkup page.

Use Griffin Jax'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 Jax 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 "The Needle And The Spoon" 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
