Ranking The Starting Phillies’ Walk-Up Songs

Here's a definitive, opinion-based list ranking the Phillies' walk-up songs. Thanks to this list on MLB.com, we can take a look at all the songs the Phillies have selected.

The individual walk-up song has forever changed the ballpark experience for players and fans alike. The walk-up song not only serves as a way to get a crowd and players hype, but it also provides fans with some insight into the music taste of their favorite players.

These players pick whatever will get them excited to play. Whether it's a slow jam, a funny song, or something that's super epic, they pick what works for them.

This list in no way judges the Phillies players according to their stats or how great they are at the plate. It's ranked based on how good the song is at hyping up the crowd and getting a player motivated to do their best. Of course, all music ranking is subjective, but in this case, there may be a definitive best and worst song.

Some of these Phillies have really iconic walk-up songs. So iconic, in fact, that the entire stadium will begin to loudly sing along as soon as the song starts to play, shouting out the name of the player who's stepping up.

So here's the list, ranking the Phillies' walk-up songs:

Look Ahead by Future
Lay Low by Tiësto

This is a kind of boring selection. Except "Look Ahead" is good. "Lay Low" is okay...but not very fitting. "Look Ahead" is really good for a baseball walk-up song. It's solidly hype.

HUMBLE.by Kendrick Lamar
Oh Oh Oh (Veo Veo) by Ceky Viciny
Los Cabareces by El Rubio Acordeon

Johan is a young guy, so he knows what's good with music. A highlight here for me has to be "HUMBLE." The Kendrick Lamar song is fantastic to hype a crowd up. "Oh Oh Oh (Veo Veo)" is also a fantastic choice!

BACK TO ME by Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, and ¥$

Castellanos has changed his walk-up song to something way more hype, and I could not be happier. "BACK TO ME," from Kanye West's new album really speaks to me. No, literally. He walks up to the spoken-word part at the beginning of the song. It's fantastic.

Love Sosa by Chief Keef

Wow. What a track. What a great idea. The song is about loving Sosa. Who else to walk up to it but Edmundo SOSA?! Great choice by all involved.

Famous by Kanye West

"Famous" works so well for Bohm. There is a whole section of the song where it sounds like a female voice is singing his last name. That's GOTTA hype you up as a player, right? This is one that has grown on a lot of fans.

Money & Fame by NEEDTOBREATHE

The beginning of this song is like the soundtrack to a movie. How can you walk up to bat while this is playing and NOT feel like a badass? You'll know it when you hear it. JT knew what he was doing when he picked this one. And only one. He's a simple guy.

Flower by Moby
Paradise by Bazzi
Should’ve Been A Cowboy by Toby Keith
Ride Wit Me by Nelly, City Spud

Bryce, man. He's got a lot. In my opinion, he can get rid of "Paradise," because it's too wimpy. "Flower" is iconic. You'll know it when you hear it and immediately think of Bryce. He really only needs that one, but you can't fault him for variety!

444+222 by Lil Uzi Vert
Pluto to Mars by Lil Uzi Vert

Props to Marsh for including a Philly-born artist. These songs are fantastic for getting a crowd excited. You'll likely recognize them when you hear them, and that's probably because of Brandon Marsh. "444+222" is a certified banger.

Thuggish Ruggish Bone by Bone Thugs N Harmony
Fantastic Voyage by Lakeside
Cult of Personality by Living Colour
Grove St. Party by Waka Flocka Flame

Maybe it's his tendency to hit Schwarbombs that grabs our attention as he steps up to bat. Maybe it's his FIRE walk-up songs. All three of these tunes perfectly encapsulate the fire he's about to bring to the field. He's a dynamic player with some really dynamic walk-up songs.

AOK by Tai Verdes

This is likely one of the most legendary Phillies walk-up songs. As soon as this song starts playing, the whole crowd at the ballpark begins to sing along, knowing Stott is about to be up. You can hear the crowd going nuts in the video above before his iconic grand slam. It's a great party song that has easy lyrics to learn.
