Baseball players are recognized for their peculiarities, and catchers are perhaps the most unique of all. In a sport where athletes often find themselves alone with their thoughts for extended periods, catchers occupy a distinctive position—physically taxing, mentally demanding, and tasked with steering the team from behind the plate. It’s not surprising that their equipment has picked up the moniker “Tools of Ignorance.” Similar to hockey goalies, catchers tend to possess a bit of eccentricity by nature.

Thus, it feels entirely fitting that New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells is causing a stir online—not for his performance on the diamond, but for his side endeavor: critiquing breakfast burritos.

Wells has created an Instagram account, aptly titled @wells.ranked.burritos, where he evaluates breakfast burritos from MLB away clubhouses. In merely three days and with only two posts, the account has successfully garnered over 60,000 followers. The bio clearly outlines his objective: “I am here to rank the Well(s) done road clubhouse breakfast burritos!”

As of now, the leading item is a chorizo breakfast burrito from Pittsburgh, which received an outstanding score of 87 out of 100 on Wells’ thorough evaluation system.

The account offers a delightful splash of online whimsy, harking back to a time when social media focused more on sharing personal delights rather than establishing a brand or pursuing monetization. It evokes memories of other charmingly niche accounts, such as Lorde’s once-hidden Instagram dedicated to reviewing onion rings.

When questioned about what sparked the initiative, Wells kept his response straightforward. “What inspired me? Well, I just really liked breakfast burritos,” he shared with MLB.com.

At times, it takes the wonderfully unconventional perspective of a catcher to remind us of the joy the internet can bring.
