What is Kevin Ginkel's walk-up song?

Kevin Ginkel's walk-up song is "The Pretender" by Foo Fighters, last confirmed in 2026 with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Hear the 30-second preview below, plus the earlier walk-up we have on record. Ginkel plays pitcher and wears #37. As a pitcher, Ginkel'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).

Arizona walkup music spans the wide range of a roster that's traditionally featured strong Latin, country, and hip hop influences. For more on the Diamondbacks' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Arizona Diamondbacks walkup page.

Use Kevin Ginkel'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 Ginkel 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 Pretender" by Foo Fighters 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
