Cleveland Guardians Walkup Songs

Progressive Field · Cleveland

The Guardians' walkup tradition

Cleveland walkups are split between José Ramírez's Latin selections (which have ranged from bachata to reggaeton) and the rest of the roster's mixed bag. Steven Kwan, Emmanuel Clase, and the team's young core have brought a more diverse playlist — country, hip hop, and Latin all represented in any given inning.

The most iconic Guardians walkup moment

Wild Thing's place in baseball history runs through Cleveland — the 1989 film Major League is set in Cleveland, and the song's crossover into actual closer entrance music is part of Guardians cultural memory.

How to use Guardians walkup songs for your team

Whether you're coaching Little League, travel ball, high school, or college baseball, picking a walkup song from a Cleveland Guardians player is one of the cleanest ways to give a kid a confidence boost 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. Pick the Guardians player whose walkup style fits the kid (power hitter, leadoff, closer, etc.)
2. Open the song's page on this site to see the recommended trim window
3. Build your roster in Walkup Pro, assign the song, and set the trim
4. Connect a Bluetooth speaker at the field and tap to play on game day
