Players love walking up to a song they know. Wait till they walk up to one that says their name. Now Batting does both. You showed up with the speaker. You've got the lineup before the coach does. You're the Chief Hype Officer — and Now Batting is the walk-up song app built for you. THE BASICS, NAILED Walk-up songs that hit right where you want them. Pick any song from Apple Music, set the exact moment it kicks in, and tap once on game day — the song plays, an announcer calls the player by name and number. THEN IT GOES FURTHER Now Batting doesn't just play a song — it can write one. Tell it a few things about a player, pick a genre, and it composes an original walk-up song with their name and number right in the lyrics. EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO • Walk-up songs — from Apple Music, dropped right where you want them. • Announcer intros — three ways: tap once for a ready-made call, write your own, or BYO. • Original walk-up songs — composed for a player, their name in the lyrics. • A team hype song — one original song that names your whole squad. • The Roll Call — your whole lineup announced before first pitch, every player by name, big-league style. • The Bullpen — pitching change? Tap. Your pitchers deserve an entrance too. • Live Score Call — swipe up, tap the score, tap announce. "Top of the third, Dragons two, Eagles one." Live, from the bleachers. • The classics — air horn, home run siren, charge and stomp. AS DEEP AS YOU WANT. NONE OF IT HARD. Tap a ready-made intro, or write every word yourself. Pick a song, or have one composed. There's a quick path and a custom path for everything — you choose how far you go, and none of it takes a sound engineer. BUILT FOR THE FIELD Download your audio before you leave home and it plays with no signal — every walk-up and sound fires the instant you tap. The app flags anything missing before first pitch, not during it. And the hand-off takes seconds — share your lineup call, no app required on their end. Now Batting works for baseball, softball, t-ball, and any team with a batting order. Manage multiple teams in one app. REQUIREMENTS iPhone with iOS 15.1 or later. An Apple Music subscription is required for full-length walk-up song playback. A Bluetooth speaker is recommended for game day.

The kids (and parents) love it. It sounds way better than Ballpark DJ. The standouts are: -Ease of use and pleasant viewing interface -The Roll Call feature that announces the lineup before the game. -Custom songs with each kids name in it. That has been fun to play pregame or between innings. -The soundboard with tabs for fun sounds when a foul ball is hit (breaking glass or skidding car) and sirens for a home run. Really keeps the fun and energy up! ### 5/5 — A must have for every Little League team. *2026-06-26* This app is awesome! The kids absolutely love picking their walkup songs, some a little too much. 😉 As a little league coach I see how excited the kids get when their teammates walkup song comes on, pure joy. ## Frequently asked questions about Now Batting ### How does Now Batting create original walk-up songs?
