NEW YORK – Aaron Judge recorded a strikeout for his 33rd straight game on Wednesday night, passing Adam Dunn, former Reds and White Sox slugger, for the infamous record. Judge also launched a mammoth home run against the New York Mets en route to a Yankees’ 5-3 victory.
So what does the Yankees’ phenom setting the single-season strikeout record mean? To put it simply, it means nothing. Judge is still getting on base just as much as he is striking out. In the second half alone, Judge has 27 walks, despite his poor batting average.
