The selection of Lamar’s hit track as his walk-up song has sparked excitement among Dodgers fans, who see it as a reflection of Lux’s determination and resilience. Hailing from Compton, the same hometown as Lamar, Lux’s choice seems to resonate deeply with him and his journey to success.
“Not Like Us” carries a confident and defiant energy that is perfectly suited to pump Lux up as he prepares to face opposing pitchers. The lyrics, which delve into the challenges encountered on the road to achievement, likely strike a chord with Lux as he navigates the pressures of professional baseball.
The 25-year-old second baseman has been turning heads this spring training, building on a successful 2023 season where he set career highs in games played (129), runs scored (66), hits (116), and stolen bases (7). Now, with a potent walk-up song to fuel his focus, Lux appears poised for an even bigger year.
