The Yankees' Chris Young struck out against a pitching machine

The Yankees warmed up for their first spring training game of the season with a scrimmage on Monday. Chris Young still needs some time to shake off the rust.

But hitting a baseball is hard. Maybe the machine was just having a good day. 

In case you were wondering: Chris Young was the only player to strike out against the pitching machine in the Yankees' intrasquad game.

Ouch. Surely baseball's active home run leader had his way with the machine.

Final A-Rod tally: 0-for-2, groundout and fly out.

Three cheers for baseball's robot overlords.
