Edwin Diaz unveils epic 'Narco' trumpet entrance in Dodgers debut
Pitcher Edwin Diaz and his signature entrance made their debut at Dodgers Stadium and set off the sound of trumpets during his walk-out song.
Edwin Diaz made his debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Arizona Diamondbacks on March 27, and part of the anticipation was how the All-Star closer would get to the pitcher’s mound. With his signature, epic entrance — that's how. Following a tradition he started in 2018, Diaz entered the field from the outfield bullpen, then headed to the pitcher’s mound to the sound of trumpets as his walk-out song "Narco" played over the stadium speakers.
Diaz struck out two batters to close out the 5-4 win. For the past three years, he did it at Citi Field as a member of the New York Mets . On March 27, he unveiled the walk-out ritual at Dodger Stadium.
Diaz told reporters in December he was looking forward to the moment after signing a three-year, $69 million contract with the Dodgers. “It would be fun,’’ Diaz said at the time. “I think that music will get into the fans right away.
That's a nice walk-up song, so I can't wait to, first game of the season, come in the ninth with Timmy Trumpet and get the W for the Dodgers. " The sound of trumpets almost always signals a triumphant moment. Diaz, the 32-year-old from Puerto, has recorded 253 saves in his nine-year MLB career, He also was named the American League Reliever of the year in 2018 and the National Reliever of the Year in 2022 and 2025.
