Baseball players are,cerita lucah akak rakan by and large, odd birds. It's a particular sport where you're mostly left to your own thoughts. And catchers are perhaps the strangest of all ballplayers. It's a grueling, physical position that also requires you to lead the entire team on the field. There's a reason catcher's gear has long been dubbed the Tools of Ignorance. It's like being a hockey goalie — you've got to be a little unhinged and odd to choose that job.
All that's to say it makes sense that New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells is going viral for reviewing breakfast burritos. It's distinctly catcher behavior.
You can find his reviews at the aptly titled Instagram account @wells.ranked.burritos, which has racked up more than 60K followers in just three days and two reviews. Its mission statement, spelled out in the bio, is simple: "I am here to rank the Well(s) done road clubhouse breakfast burritos!" So far, the chorizo breakfast burrito from Pittsburgh is the top choice, scoring an 87 out of 100 on the quite-detailed Wells scale.

It's a bit of pure internet joy in a time when there is, well, very little of that. The account harkens back to a bygone internet era when people would post things they enjoyed, rather than hone in on what can be monetized. (Remember Lorde's secret onion rings Instagram?) Frankly, it might just take the brain of a catcher to get to that place in 2025.
“What inspired me? Well, I just really liked breakfast burritos,” Wells told MLB.com.
