Aaron Judge may be one of the most powerful, and popular, players in baseball, but the behemoth of a human does have a weakness.

The 25-year-old New York Yankees rookie struck out for the 36th straight game on Saturday, breaking the single-season record for consecutive games with a strikeout.

Judge had already set a similar record, but for non-pitchers, when he struck out against the New York Mets earlier this week.

Entering Saturday's contest, Judge had already struck out 163 times this season.
