San Diego Padres Pitcher Mason Miller Uses KORN Classic “Blind” As Walk-Up Music

classic nü-metal anthem recently made its way onto a Major League Baseball field thanks to San Diego Padres pitcher Mason Miller.

During yesterday’s (March 28) matchup between the San Diego Padres and the Detroit Tigers, Miller took the mound as the team’s closer while Korn’s iconic track “Blind” blasted through the stadium speakers. The moment, captured in fan footage circulating online, saw the reliever enter to the opening build of the song — widely regarded as one of the defining tracks of the nü-metal era.

Originally released as the lead single from Korn’s self-titled debut album, “Blind” helped establish the band’s signature sound and played a major role in shaping the genre’s mainstream breakthrough during the mid-1990s. The album would go on to achieve multi-platinum status and remains a cornerstone release for heavy music fans.

Miller’s choice continues a long tradition of athletes embracing heavy music for high-intensity entrances, with metal and hardcore tracks frequently used to amplify late-game moments and closer appearances.
