Author Benedetta Baldin - 29.3.2026

Sports and music connection isn’t anything new, but this time it’s got a nu metal twist. Mason James Miller of the San Diego Padres has chosen a pivotal nu metal song as his walk-up music, as per theprp. The lead song off Korn‘s genre-cementing 2x platinum self-titled debut album, “Blind,” is playing as Miller approaches the pitcher’s mound as the closer in the video below from yesterday’s (March 28) game against the Detroit Tigers.
