Kyle Teel serves as the White Sox clubhouse DJ, regularly controlling pre-game music with house tracks that match his upbeat personality. Thieves stole his DJ equipment from his truck while he lived in Charlotte; he recovered the truck but not the mixers, so he relies on his laptop and uses assistant clubhouse manager Tom Bafia's gear. Teel previously DJed frequently in the Red Sox minor leagues, earning teammates' nickname 'DJ Base Monkey.' Manager Will Venable praises Teel's genuine, high-energy enthusiasm, saying it reminds teammates how special it is to play at the ballpark. Teel is a 23-year-old former first-round pick and trade acquisition.
Still, the rookie catcher has become a regular at controlling the pre-game tunes, often setting the vibe with house music - an upbeat genre compatible with Teel's naturally buoyant personality. "I feel like I bring a good aux cord to the mix," Teel said. "Music is such an important thing pre-game because, like, it can set the tone for the day and create good energy before we go out there."
The best way I could describe it right is, the genuine enthusiasm for being at the baseball field that sometimes can be lost in the daily grind of being a professional baseball player. He brings that kind of energy that always reminds us that how special it is to be at the ballpark playing baseball, whether it's in the clubhouse, in the dugout, on the field.
