About Ryan Helsley's walkup

Ryan Helsley (Pitcher, #21) walks up to "Hells Bells" by AC/DC (last confirmed 2026) for the Baltimore Orioles. Confirmed via KSDK and Athlon Sports 2026 closer entrance roundup; song followed him from Cardinals to Orioles.

Camden Yards has one of the best stadium music setups in MLB. For more on the Orioles' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Baltimore Orioles walkup page.

Why "Hells Bells" works as a walkup

The slow tolling bell that opens the song is one of the most recognizable sounds in baseball. It builds menace for 30+ seconds before the song really kicks in — exactly the length of a long closer entrance. The pacing matches the bullpen-to-mound walk so well that no other closer entrance song has the same theatrical weight.

Use Ryan Helsley'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 Helsley 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 "Hells Bells" by AC/DC 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
