Continuing on the theme of songs that are favorites of the athletes that are masters of speed, we have the iTunes playlist of Florida Marlins pitching ace Dontrelle Willis, known as the "D-Train."

Dontrelle is one of the most exciting pitchers in the game, and an absolute master of his mind and the speeds of his pitches. Unlike most pitchers, Dontrelle is a vocal and energetic on-field commander--more like a pro-quarterback than a pro-golfer as many pitchers so stoically behave.

Dontrelle's playlist includes 15 choices, beginning with this song by the artist Cassidy, in a song called "I'm a Hustla." Dontrelle says: "[I like this song for] [m]otivating me while I am working out."
