About Mike Trout's walkup
Mike Trout (Right Fielder, #27) walks up to "tv off" by Kendrick Lamar (last confirmed 2025) for the Los Angeles Angels. Reported on WalkUpDB and YouTube live walk-up channels for 2025; Trout rotates songs.
Mike Trout has been the Angels' walkup centerpiece for over a decade — and his picks have been famously low-profile compared to flashier MLB stars. For more on the Angels' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Los Angeles Angels walkup page.
Why "tv off" works as a walkup
Kendrick's voice on the opening line is unmistakable — instant recognition, no build needed. The fast BPM keeps energy high. Lyrically aggressive without crossing too far into explicit content (with a careful trim). The song's cultural weight in 2026 means crowds react before the second beat hits.

Use Mike Trout'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 Trout 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.
