About Javier Assad's walkup

Javier Assad (Pitcher, #72) walks up to "Gracias - En Vivo" by Grupo Firme & Grupo Codiciado (last confirmed 2026) for the Chicago Cubs. Confirmed via MLB.com Cubs ballpark music page (2026).

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.

Use Javier Assad'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 Assad 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 "Gracias - En Vivo" by Grupo Firme & Grupo Codiciado 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
