Whiskey Glasses as a Walkup Song

by Morgan Wallen

Preview

Is "Whiskey Glasses" a good walkup song?

The fast BPM and driving guitar give it true walkup energy — most country songs are too slow, but this one is fast enough to feel like ignition. Wallen's vocal urgency matches the song's tempo. And the chorus is one of the most-singable country hooks of the late 2010s.

Notable players who've used it

Whiskey Glasses has been a top-tier country walkup since release. Especially popular at the SEC level and across travel ball — the song was already a country radio staple before Wallen became the genre's biggest current artist. Players have been using it for years and it shows no sign of fading.

How to trim "Whiskey Glasses" for a walkup

Start at 0:00, run for 20 seconds. The driving guitar and Wallen's vocal entrance are the hook. Start at zero.

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.

• Any hitter
• Softball players
• Veterans

How to set up "Whiskey Glasses" 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 "Whiskey Glasses" to the player who picked it
2. Scrub to 0:00 and set the trim duration to 20 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
