What is Edwin Diaz's walkout song? All about the Timmy Trumpet banger featured in MLB The Show 23

Philadelphia Phillies v New York Mets
The Edwin Diaz walkout song is Narcos

The hit song Narcos by Timmy Trumpet has become synonymous with Edwin Diaz as it is his walk-out song. Whenever he enters the game, usually with a lead in the ninth, the song blares. So, where did it originate and how did it take off?

In 2018, the reliever was with the Seattle Mariners. He was given a few songs to choose from and ended up settling on that one. He went on to record 57 saves and win the Reliever of the Year award.

In 2019, when he joined the Mets, he scrapped the song. He wanted to do a Puerto Rican song to honor his heritage. His wife prompted him in 2020 to return to Narcos, but there were no fans in the stands then.

When fans can hear the song play and see Diaz walking out onto the field, they go crazy. The artist of the song, Timmy Trumpet, said via Fox Sports:

"The crowd just keeps getting wilder. It's like a party when he walks out to that mound. Nothing makes me happier! That is exactly what this song was meant to do."

With the Mets becoming a real contender and winning 101 games, the song became a hit. Diaz further cemented his status as one of the game's great closers and the song became synonymous with that.

The song has gotten so incredibly popular that it has been added to the MLB the Show 23 tracklist. There aren't many songs on it, so it's a tremendous honor for Edwin Diaz's walk-out song to be featured.
