Austin Wells began reviewing burritos on his Instagram earlier this year.

On Saturday, the Yankees turned their catcher's hobby into a promotion.

At a few locations around Yankee Stadium, fans could buy a Wells Favurrito.

Then, Wells delivered a burrito blast.

In a 1-1 game, Wells turned on a deep fly ball to right field beyond the fence for a go-ahead home run.
