What is Hunter Brown's walk-up song?

Hunter Brown's walk-up song is "By Design" by Kid Cudi, last confirmed in 2026 with the Houston Astros. Hear the 30-second preview below before picking it for your own team. Brown plays pitcher and wears #58. As a pitcher, Brown'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).

Houston walkup music leans Latin and country — Yordan Alvarez and José Altuve anchor a Latin-heavy walkup playlist, while the Texas-born players bring country picks. For more on the Astros' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Houston Astros walkup page.

Use Hunter Brown'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 Brown 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 "By Design" by Kid Cudi 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
