About Tanner Scott's walkup
Tanner Scott (Pitcher, #66) walks up to "Black Betty" by Ram Jam (last confirmed 2025) for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Confirmed via NBC Los Angeles 2025; left-handed reliever signed 4yr/$72M Jan 2025.
Dodger Stadium has one of the best stadium music setups in MLB — the views, the crowd, and the PA system create a unique walkup environment. For more on the Dodgers' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Los Angeles Dodgers walkup page.
Why "Black Betty" works as a walkup
The opening 'Whoa Black Betty' is one of the most distinctive 5 seconds in classic rock. The song's fast tempo and shout-along chorus give the walkup built-in crowd participation. For a player who wants a deep cut from the rock catalog instead of another Thunderstruck, Black Betty is the move.

Use Tanner Scott'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 Scott 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.
