Yaqub Route

A play in baseball where a player takes a bad route in the outfield, especially in right field.

Examples: Running inwards when the ball is clearly over the head; Running in the wrong direction of where the ball is hit; Getting a bad read of the baseball; etc.

Named after the infamous right fielder and a Chipotle enthusiast, Zach Yaqub.
