Boston Red Sox’s Jarren Duran Shares His Pregame Playlist Featuring Morgan Wallen, Lana Del Rey & Sean Kingston

Players across MLB come from diverse backgrounds and cultures around the world. That makes for walk-up songs and gameday music that spans all genres. Some players’ taste in tunes even reflect that in their pregame playlist. For Jarren Duran, outfielder for the Boston Red Sox, that means listening to artists who make pop, rock, country, hip-hop, EDM, indie and even reggae.

Before he takes the field, Jarren likes to listen to artists like Morgan Wallen while he stretches or soaks in the hot tub. Songs like “7 Summers” makes sure he doesn’t get too hyped up too early. As the game approaches, that’s when Duran picks up the pace with some Eminem or Mac Miller. Both rappers have inspired him in his baseball career with their lyrics.

Jarren’s gameday playlist features a couple outliers. He loves to play “Take You There” by Sean Kingston because it gets everyone around him singing along, whether they know the lyrics or not. He also has some Lana Del Rey on the list thanks to his teammate, Roman Anthony. When Anthony played “Summertime Sadness” during practice, Duran had to add it to the playlist.

In 2023, Jarren had the opportunity to play for Team Mexico at the World Baseball Classic, which he described as some of the most fun he’s ever had in baseball. He said, “Every single play, pitch, was like game seven of the World Series.” For such an intense setting, Lil Wayne was his go to musician to match the vibe.
