What is Kodai Senga's walk-up song?
Kodai Senga's walk-up song is "Beat It" by Michael Jackson, last confirmed in 2026 with the New York Mets. Hear the 30-second preview below, plus the earlier walk-up we have on record. Senga plays pitcher and wears #34. As a pitcher, Senga'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).
Citi Field has the best entrance music in baseball thanks to Edwin Díaz's Narco entrances becoming a citywide phenomenon. For more on the Mets' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the New York Mets walkup page.

Use Kodai Senga'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 Senga 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.
