Judging by the reception from baseball and music fans, Mason Miller’s new entrance music is here to stay.
Miller grabbed everyone’s attention during Saturday’s game against the Detroit Tigers at Petco Park in San Diego, Calif., when he stepped out of the bullpen and made his way to the mound in the top of the ninth inning during his 2026 debut, as Korn’s “Blind” played in the background.
It was an awesome, electric scene, with the nu-metal classic’s riff and the flickering stadium lights perfectly setting a sense of dread for what Tigers hitters were about to face.
ESPN shared a video of Miller’s entrance and immediately garnered a ton of reactions.
Korn even left a comment on the post.
“The Reaper,” Korn wrote, while adding a couple of emojis.
Of course, “The Reaper” is Miller’s nickname, and Korn used it to show their approval of his use of one of the band’s best songs in its discography.
Miller, who signed a 1-year, $4 million contract with San Diego in January, made sure that his performance matched the grand theatrics of his entrance. He allowed zero hits, walked one and struck out two to get his first save as the Padres’ closer in a 3-0 win over the Tigers.
