Until recently, Cincinnati Reds reliever Alexis Díaz hadn’t asked his brother about the song that the New York Mets blare on the speakers every time Edwin Díaz takes the mound in New York.
Over the last three weeks, Edwin Díaz’s walkout song has become the No. 5 song on Spotify. The video of his walkout to the song “Narcos” by Blasterjaxx and Timmy Trumpet has over 10 million views. The song has a pulsing trumpet line and a bass soundtrack that gets the crowd at Citi Field out of their seats. Mets manager Buck Showalter has said that he makes a point to not miss the spectacle as Edwin Díaz walks onto the field.
