Use Jacob deGrom'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 deGrom 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
