The Texas Rangers are gearing up for the 2026 season with a fresh set of walk-up songs for their players, blending established artists with rising stars. The team’s selections, revealed earlier this week, showcase a diverse range of musical tastes within the clubhouse, from country and hip-hop to rock and pop. The selections were highlighted in a report following a Google Alert for song-related news.
New Sounds for a New Season
Among the notable choices, Corey Seager will be stepping up to the plate to the sounds of Chris Martin, while Wyatt Langford has opted for a track by BigXthaPlug. Brandon Nimmo has selected “I’m So Blessed” by CAIN, and Joc Pederson will be walking up to Drake’s “You Broke My Heart.” These selections reflect the players’ individual preferences and aim to energize both the players and the fans at Globe Life Field in Arlington.
The process of selecting walk-up songs is taken seriously by the Rangers’ music director, Chris Statzer, professionally known as DJ CStatz. Statzer, who previously worked with the Frisco Roughriders, the Rangers’ Double-A affiliate, understands the power of music to influence the atmosphere of a game. As he explained in a 2023 interview with WFAA, “Music can drive the emotion and tell a story within a game.”
The Role of Music at Globe Life Field
Statzer’s role extends beyond just playing walk-up songs. He curates the entire musical experience at Globe Life Field, from pregame tracks designed to energize batting practice to more subdued music for opposing teams. He also orchestrates stadium-wide singalongs, a tactic famously employed during the Rangers’ 2023 World Series run with the band Creed. Statzer works closely with longtime public address announcer Chuck Morgan, communicating via video to synchronize the music with the on-field action.
The integration of music into the Rangers’ game-day experience is a deliberate effort to enhance the fan experience. Statzer’s approach is to create a dynamic and engaging atmosphere that complements the excitement of the game. The 2026 walk-up song selections are just one part of this broader strategy.

The choice of walk-up songs is a personal one for each player, often reflecting their musical tastes and what gets them focused and energized before stepping into the batter’s box. The Rangers’ organization supports this individuality, recognizing that music plays a significant role in player performance and the overall game-day atmosphere.
The 2026 season promises to be another exciting year for the Texas Rangers, and the team’s carefully curated walk-up songs are sure to add to the energy and excitement at Globe Life Field. Fans can look forward to hearing these tracks and many more as the Rangers chase another championship.
