“Could feel the f**king difference”: Edwin Diaz butchers through as Timmy Trumpet plays victory anthem ‘Narco’ for his entrance
Edwin Diaz
All Edwin Diaz needed was a confidant entrance song to deliver his pitching skills against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Timmy Trumpet was there to give him the boost he needed; he is the musician whose song has become a victory anthem in Queens.
The Australian-born Timmy Trumpet had never attended a baseball game. Wednesday night, he got the full experience at Citi Field, including performing live in front of Mets fans. But on Tuesday he did set the mood for the entire stadium like it is in his concerts.
“I tried to look up a little bit when I was running to see how the reaction was from the fans, so I looked up and it was pretty fun,” Edwin Diaz said after the game. “I could feel the vibe from the fans. They were really excited.”
“I think I could feel the difference,” Edwin Díaz said. “Everybody was getting into it. It was really fun to watch.” Apart from all that, “But I can tell you,” Smith said, “I can assure you, I’m officially a Mets fan for life.”

‘Narco’ has quickly become one of the greatest reliever entrance songs in baseball history and a staple of the Mets’ fan experience at Citi Field. It was a whole different vibe, Edwin Díaz takes the mound and, more often than not, dominates. His 1.38 ERA is a career best, while his rate of 17.2 strikeouts per nine innings leads the Majors by a significant margin.
“It’s absolutely insane,” Smith said of Díaz’s entrance, comparing it with the scene he often enjoys at major music festivals such as Tomorrowland. “It’s incredibly humbling and a great honor that a world-class athlete is using my song as inspiration to run on that pitch.”
“This guy’s such a professional, he could do this with any song. But I’m very thankful to the Mets supporters and anyone that’s adding this track to their playlist and supporting ‘Narco.’”
