About Kody Funderburk's walkup
Kody Funderburk (Pitcher, #57) walks up to "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC (last confirmed 2024) for the Minnesota Twins. Confirmed via Fox 9 Minneapolis 2024 Twins walkup songs article.
Minnesota walkup music spans an unusually broad range thanks to a roster with players from across the U. For more on the Twins' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Minnesota Twins walkup page.
Why "Thunderstruck" works as a walkup
The opening guitar lick is the most recognizable 5 seconds in walkup music. There's no slow build, no buried hook — the song hits at full energy in second one. The riff repeats and builds, so even a long trim window stays interesting. And every fan of every age recognizes it instantly.

Use Kody Funderburk'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 Funderburk 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.
