Up! as a Walkup Song

by Forrest Frank & Connor Price

Preview

Is "Up!" a good walkup song?

The hook hits in the first 2 seconds. The energy is full hype without a single questionable lyric. Connor Price's verse adds a hip hop crossover that makes the song work for players who want hip hop energy without explicit content. For travel ball and Little League where clean is mandatory, no walkup competes.

Notable players who've used it

Up! is the #1 walkup song in youth baseball and softball in 2026, and one of the top 5 walkup songs across all of baseball. Forrest Frank has become the most-used walkup artist at the youth level — three of his songs rank in the top 25 across baseball. Up! is the breakout, and the song that single-handedly mainstreamed faith-based walkups.

How to trim "Up!" for a walkup

Start at 0:00, run for 18 seconds. The hook 'Up' hits in second one. The full opening 18 seconds is the walkup window.

The trim point is the difference between a great walkup song and a great walkup. A song's first 15-20 seconds rarely happen to be the best 15-20 seconds — most popular tracks have a build, an intro, or a bridge before the hook lands. Pick the slice that hits hardest. The last second of your trim window should land on a peak, right as the player steps into the box.

Best for

• Youth players
• Softball players
• Any hitter

Clean / explicit version notes

"Up!" has no explicit content — it's safe for any age and any league. No need for a clean version or careful trimming. Pick the song, set the trim, lock it in.

How to set up "Up!" for your team

Setting up a walkup song requires three things: an app that handles per-player audio, custom trim points, and one-tap playback on game day.

1. Build your roster in Walkup Pro — assign "Up!" to the player who picked it
2. Scrub to 0:00 and set the trim duration to 18 seconds
3. Connect a Bluetooth speaker at the field (a JBL Charge or similar will cover any youth field — see our guide to the best Bluetooth speakers for a baseball field)
4. On game day, tap to play as the player walks to the box
