What is Ryan Vilade's walk-up song?
Ryan Vilade's walk-up song is "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield, last confirmed during the 2026 season with the Tampa Bay Rays. Vilade plays right fielder and wears #26. Confirmed on the official MLB walk-up music page (2026-06-10).
Tampa Bay walkups don't get the same media coverage as bigger-market teams, but the Rays roster has historically run one of the most diverse walkup playlists in MLB — Latin, hip hop, country, rock, all in rotation across a single lineup. For more on the Rays' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Tampa Bay Rays walkup page.

Use Ryan Vilade'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 Vilade 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.
