What is Mason Black's walk-up song?

Mason Black's walk-up song is "Never Let Me Down" by Kanye West, last confirmed in 2026 with the Kansas City Royals. Hear the 30-second preview below before picking it for your own team. Black plays pitcher and wears #47. As a pitcher, Black's song plays as he takes the mound — his entrance music and walk-up song are one and the same.

Use Mason Black'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 Black 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 "Never Let Me Down" by Kanye West 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
