Watch Aaron Judge Strike Out 27 Times In 22 Seconds

Aaron Judge struck out 208 times during the 2017 season. That is the highest total from any rookie ever - and it ranks #6 all-time. In fact, only two right-handed batters in the history of major league baseball have struck out more times in a single season.

Judge also set a new major league record by striking out 27 times in the postseason (in only 57 plate appearances). Here they are:


(In the ALDS against Cleveland, Judge came to the plate 24 times - and struck out 16 times. He saw 134 pitches - and hit a grand total of four fair balls, going 1-for-20.)

Maybe we should call him "The Breeze".

(Then again, "gap tooth zombie looking Paul Bunyan mother fucker" (coined by DennyDoyle'sBoil of SoSH) is also good.)

I totally got the number of games wrong, thinking the Yanks would be swept, but I did call the Judge ALDS strikeout record.
