What is Pete Fairbanks's walk-up song?
Pete Fairbanks's walk-up song is "Hook" by Blues Traveler, last confirmed during the 2022 season with the Tampa Bay Rays. Fairbanks plays closer and wears #29. Older fan-reported entrance song from 2022; 2024-2025 entrance song not refreshed in sources.
Tampa Bay walkups don't get the same media coverage as bigger-market teams, but the Rays roster has historically run one of the most diverse walkup playlists in MLB — Latin, hip hop, country, rock, all in rotation across a single lineup. For more on the Rays' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Tampa Bay Rays walkup page.

Use Pete Fairbanks's walkup style for your team
Whether you coach Little League, travel ball, high school, or college baseball, picking a walkup song from a star like Fairbanks is one of the cleanest ways to give a kid confidence at the plate. The trick: most MLB walkups need a careful trim point — the 15-second window is rarely the song's first 15 seconds.
