Hear the 30-second preview below, plus the earlier walk-up we have on record. Keller plays pitcher and wears #23. Confirmed on the official MLB walk-up music page (2026-08-14).

Use Mitch Keller'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 Keller 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.
