There’s a surprisingly long list of baseball players who can really sing or make music, and a few of them have built serious second careers in music.

Standout baseball player–musicians

  • Bernie Williams (Yankees legend, guitarist) – A four-time World Series champion who became a Grammy-nominated jazz guitarist; he studied at the Manhattan School of Music and has performed with major orchestras.
  • Bronson Arroyo (Red Sox/Reds pitcher, vocals & guitar) – Released a rock covers album in 2005 and has performed live at charity events and baseball functions, often doing ’90s rock and grunge.
  • Barry Zito (A’s/Giants pitcher, singer-songwriter) – A Cy Young winner who later released a country EP called “No Secrets” and works out of a studio in Nashville.
  • Ben Broussard (MLB first baseman, vocals & guitar) – Known in baseball circles as a legit singer-songwriter with his own recorded material.
  • Omar Vizquel (defensive wizard, singer) – Has appeared singing on Latin music tracks and TV performances, showing a surprisingly expressive voice.

Players who’ve released songs or albums

  • Yoán Moncada (White Sox, rapper/singer) – Put out the Latin pop track “Desastre Personal” with a full music video and collaborations with Cuban artists.
  • Deion Sanders (two-sport star, outfielder & cornerback) – Released the album “Prime Time” in the 1990s, featuring the track “Must Be the Money,” which became a cult sports-rap classic.
  • Ken Griffey Jr. (Hall of Famer, rap guest) – Appeared on the rap track “The Way I Swing,” mixing play-by-play audio with his verses.
  • Mike Piazza (Mets/Dodgers catcher, metal vocals) – Contributed “death growls” on a track by metal band Black Label Society, a deep-cut favorite for metalhead baseball fans.

Other baseball voices around the game

  • Joe West (longtime MLB umpire, country singer) – Known as “Country Joe,” he’s released multiple country records and performed widely while still umpiring.
  • Jose Iglesias (MLB infielder, pop singer) – Released the catchy song “OMG,” which even turned into part of the Mets’ soundtrack during a playoff run, blurring the line between walk-up music and personal hit single.

Fun mini-take: why so many?

  • Baseball’s schedule leaves pockets of downtime on the road, which many players fill with guitar, songwriting, or studio sessions.
  • Music gives players a way to shape their image beyond stats, especially in the social-media and streaming era, where a single track or video can trend quickly among fans.

In forum discussions and recent news, “baseball players who can sing” comes up often as fans trade clips of Bernie’s jazz solos, Arroyo’s acoustic shows, and Moncada’s reggaeton-style videos.

Bottom line: if you’re looking for baseball players who can sing, start with Bernie Williams, Bronson Arroyo, Barry Zito, Yoán Moncada, Deion Sanders, and Jose Iglesias—each has real recordings or performances you can track down today.
