I almost didn't include this because it's already a popular walk-up in MLB. Former Red Sox player Xander Bogaerts has used this for many years since his first name obviously starts with the letter "X." Even if your name doesn't start with this letter, it still makes for a great option.

Other options from DMX - Ruff Rider's Anthem

The ultimate goal as a hitter is to get on base and make the pitcher hate you. Nas' "hate me now" describes how success often attracts negative attention and envy. The song's energy and attitude make it a strong choice for a baseball walk-up song.
