What is Michael Busch's walk-up song?

Michael Busch's walk-up song is "If I Can't - Album Version (Edited)" by 50 Cent, last confirmed in 2026 with the Chicago Cubs. Hear the 30-second preview below, plus the earlier walk-up we have on record. Busch plays first baseman and wears #29. 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.

Use Michael Busch'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 Busch 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 "If I Can't - Album Version (Edited)" by 50 Cent 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
