From the ominous tones of heavy metalers Five Finger Death Punch to the more uplifting, kneeslappin’ 1980s country group Alabama, the West Virginia University baseball team has quite the eclectic taste in music.
There’s even a Justin Beiber fan on the squad (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
Whether walk-up songs play a part in an athlete’s actual performance remains to be seen. We still grabbed the list of entrance songs for the 2018 squad.
Used to energize players, a walk-up song can be identifiable with whichever player is up to bat.
