Here Are The Walkup Songs For The Players In The MLB’s ALCS And NLCS Playoff Series

The start of the 2023 MLB Playoff season brought plenty of surprises, but that’s what the playoffs are about right? The top seeds in both the AL and the NL were sent home as the Baltimore Orioles were swept 3-0 by the Texas Rangers and the Atlanta Braves, a team that logged 104 wins this season, were also sent packing after losing 3-1 to the Philadelphia Phillies. The pennant race is officially underway thanks to game one of the ALCS, which went down on October 15. The Texas Rangers are up against the Houston Astros with the Rangers up 1-0 after their Sunday night win. On the flip side, the Arizona Diamondbacks are up against the Philadelphia Phillies with game one set to go down on October 16.

Both the Phillies and the Rangers have been cruising through the playoffs with unofficial team anthems that have proven to be a rallying cry for the players and their fans. For the Phillies is Tiesto and Calum Scott’s “Dancing on My Own,” and for the Rangers, it’s Creed’s “Higher.” However, these aren’t the only songs getting players in the right mindset for these pressure-filled playoff games.

Here’s a list of the walkup songs that get each player on the remaining playoff teams pumped before an at-bat.
