What is Javier Assad's walk-up song?
Javier Assad's walk-up song is "Gracias - En Vivo" by Grupo Firme, Grupo Codiciado, last confirmed in 2026 with the Chicago Cubs. Hear the 30-second preview below, plus the earlier walk-up we have on record. Assad plays pitcher and wears #72. As a pitcher, Assad'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.

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.
