As usual, Pittston tomato fight is a fun, messy time

<p><em>If you walk into any baseball clubhouse or locker room at any level &#8212; professional, college or even high school &#8212; there&#8217;s a good chance music will be blasting out of someone&#8217;s speakers. It could be country, rock, hip-hop and rap, R&amp;B, reggae or Latin music.</em></p><p><em>The same can be said as teams go through their pre-game workouts or players walk up to the plate or out of the bullpen. Music is everywhere in baseball and it&#8217;s extremely diverse.</em></p><p><em>Each week we&#8217;ll take a look at how music influences each player&#8217;s game.</em></p><p><strong>Tyler Jones</strong></p><p><strong>RHP</strong></p><p><strong>Milwaukee, Wisc.</strong></p><p><strong>Who plays the best music?</strong> I have to go with Mason (Williams), just because me and him are on the same kind of wavelength. Although I don&#8217;t really like his 21 Savage. I&#8217;m not a huge fan, but he likes it.</p><p><strong>What&#8217;s your pregame playlist?</strong> I always keep it changing. Whatever songs are (in). There&#8217;s always new songs coming out so I&#8217;m always adding them to the playlist. I have like a pregame playlist. Lately, the new Rae Sremmurd song has been one of my favorites. Jay Z&#8217;s new album is always a go-to for me. I change it up. I listen to rock once and a while. (Kyle Higashioka) will get me on a Metallica kick every now and again. So I&#8217;ll listen to Metallica or some good Latin music.</p><p><strong>What&#8217;s your walk-up song?</strong> I&#8217;m a big Kid Cudi guy, so I always have a Kid Cudi song of some sort, whether it&#8217;s old or new. It&#8217;s just my favorite artist so I have to be loyal.</p><p><strong>Who has the weirdest walk-up song?</strong> Not really. Every now and again. I know Mason just changed his to that &#8220;Perplexing Pegasus&#8221; new (Rae Sremmurd) song. It&#8217;s kind of hard to hear out there (in the bullpen) and there haven&#8217;t been any that really stood out. I noticed a few on the road when we were in Norfolk and there were a couple. &#8220;Story of OJ&#8221; from Jay Z&#8217;s new album, one of the guys walked out to that.</p><style>
