DETROIT - An unforeseen partnership between rocker Jack White and Ian Kinsler has led to an original walk-up song for the Detroit Tigers second baseman.

White and Kinsler are partners and co-investors in Warstic, a sporting goods company that makes, among other things, stylish wooden bats.

Last week, the White Stripes musician released a new song titled "Battle Cry," which will also serve as Kinsler's walk-up music.

The sudden, under-the-radar release marks White's first new music since 2014.

"Battle Cry" also soundtracks the promotional film War Cry: The Battle of the Hawk and the Raven."

Kinsler, a 4-time all-star, stars in the 60-second video which juxtaposes a Native American warrior hunting in the wilderness with Kinsler walking to the plate, swinging a bat and hitting baseballs.

"We wanted to take a very human, albeit epic and almost mythical look at the real inner struggle hitters go though in a game where failure is so prevalent," said creator Ben Jenkins in a statement.

"The goal with Warstic players is to be fully mentally engaged and calm in order to let their training come through naturally. We want to express the idea that a real warrior with a hunter's mindset doesn't concern himself with the results as much as he makes sure he is doing all he can to be present, ready, and focused. He attacks. And, oh yeah, the bat looks badass as well."

White and Anthony "Thosh" Collins of The Native Wellness Institute also appear in the video narrated by Kinsler's father, Howard Kinsler.

According to a news release, a portion of all proceeds generated by the "Battle Cry" record will be donated to The Well for Culture Program, which promotes the well-being of Native Americans through youth and adult programs and training that embraces the teachings and traditions of Native ancestors.

Kinsler has been one of the Tigers' most productive players since joining the team before the 2014 season. In five games this season he is hitting .375 with one home run and four RBIs.
