Aaron Judge, a phenomenal player in the ballparks, knows the importance of a truly epic walk-up song. The beat and the rhythm, they’re all crucial components in setting the tone for a player’s arrival at the plate. And when it comes to a player of Judge’s caliber, the song must be equally grandiose.

Judge recently hinted at the possibility of adding a bold, over-the-top tune to his playlist. Proving that even the most amazing players can have a bit of fun with their walk-up music. After all, it’s all about getting the crowd pumped and ready for some electrifying baseball action.

Fallon surprised Aaron Judge with a rather unusual offering 

The process of selecting the perfect walk-up song can be a tricky task for any baseball player. But for Aaron Judge, it’s a serious consideration. With a playlist of 30 to 40 songs always at the ready. The decision is not one to be taken lightly. The New York Yankees captain humorously shared that he even enlists his wife, playing each potential tune in the car and announcing his arrival at the plate before asking for her thoughts.

Enter Jimmy Fallon, a big-time baseball fan and potential walk-up song guru. Fallon surprised Judge with a rather unusual offering. A song that repetitively belts out his name but with a beat that couldn’t be ignored.

The absurdity of it all had Judge in stitches. And so, the reigning AL MVP humorously declared that while it may find itself near the bottom of his playlist, the song was now officially a part of his walk-up song collection. But it may never feature as his walk song. “I’ve got to add this, I think, to the playlist,” Judge said. “It might be near the bottom but it’s on.” 

Judge’s other walk-up songs 

Aaron Judge understands the power of a walk-up song. It’s all about making an impact and grabbing the crowd’s attention. Over the years, Judge has experimented with a range of tunes, from classic rock anthems with unforgettable guitar riffs to the many offerings from Travis Scott according to platemusic.com. 

One player who has left a lasting impression through his walk-up song is Mariano Rivera. The legendary Yankees pitcher is forever associated with The Sandman by Metallica. The heavy-hitting sound of the band’s music perfectly complemented Rivera’s intimidating presence on the mound. 

A great walk-up song has the ability to become a player’s legacy, transcending time and being remembered for generations to come. Perhaps, one day, Judge will also find his own signature tune!
