Edwin Diaz changing reputation with Mets fans all thanks to awesome walk-up music (Video)
New York Mets pitcher Edwin Diaz has had a rocky relationship with Mets fans, but it looks like his new walk-up song is making him quite popular at Citi Field.
It’s no question been a roller-coaster ride for right-handed New York Mets pitcher Edwin Diaz over in Queens. Arriving from the Seattle Mariners via trade, Diaz was expected to continue his ways as one of the most dominant closers in the game. That hasn’t been the case.
Diaz has had his fair share of struggles and there have been times where the fans haven’t loved him. Well, with Diaz off to a strong start in 2021, his popularity is only growing more thanks to his walk-up song. Wait, what?
It's no exaggeration to say that Edwin Díaz's entrance music -- “Narco,” by Blasterjaxx and Timmy Trumpet -- has enhanced his popularity. A nice ovation as he comes out here in a non-save situation, with fans clapping along.

Mets 4, Nationals 0 after eight.
Edwin Diaz’s entrance music will never get old. Best part of this one, Mr. Met is playing a trumpet (peek the Jumbotron) and fans are playing imaginary trumpets in the stands. 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺 pic.twitter.com/tD1qdB7IzL

Edwin Diaz is winning over Mets fans thanks to the song Narco
That’s right, when Diaz makes his way out of the bullpen and onto the field, he’s got Narco by Blasterjaxx and Timmy Trumpet bumping. It’s easy to see why the fans in the stands are getting fired up, as Narco has become quite the popular song.
To make things even better for the Mets here, Diaz indeed is doing wonderful things on the bump thus far this season, as he’s sporting a 2.25 ERA, with two saves and nine strikeouts. Following a win over the Washington Nationals on Sunday, New York is now 9-8 on the campaign and sits in first place of the NL East standings.
As soon as Steve Cohen arrived, he made it clear he was ready to make moves and help this team try and compete for a division title. So far, things are looking good in Flushing. If you’re superstitious, you better hope Diaz doesn’t change his walk-up song. It’s appears to be bringing good energy to the club.
