Pittsburgh Pirates Walkup Songs

The Pirates' walkup tradition

Pittsburgh walkup culture leans country and classic rock — Andrew McCutchen and the Pirates' veterans set a tone that newer stars like Paul Skenes and Bryan Reynolds have largely followed. The PNC Park PA setup is one of the better in the NL Central, and songs with clean mixes carry well.

The most iconic Pirates walkup moment

Andrew McCutchen's prime Pirates years (2012-2017) brought some of the most-imitated walkup picks in the NL Central — particularly his hip hop selections, which influenced a generation of Pirates players.

How to use Pirates walkup songs for your team

Whether you're coaching Little League, travel ball, high school, or college baseball, picking a walkup song from a Pittsburgh Pirates 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 Pirates 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
