The baseball player Alexander Palma "results are coming out" as expected in the 2023 season of the Major League Baseball Professional (LMBP). Although he recently suffered from shoulder discomfort, his talent with the crossbar has not been compromised.
“It seems that it was a bad sleep, which was combined with a shot that I took late in the game and ended up bothering me. They decided to take a few days off defense, where I can only play as a designated player," the player told the LMBP.
It was expected that "El tanque" would slow down, but his case has been the opposite, this situation makes him one of the strongest men in Centauros de La Guaira.

Going into the weekend, Palma hit .381 (21-8) with a homer and six RBIs in the past six games, all as DH.
"I am working day by day with the medical staff to improve the slight shoulder injury, but I can take turns and it doesn't affect me, which is what is important," he said.
Palma insisted on the preparation
With this panorama, the 27-year-old figure instills fear when positioning himself at the plate against the pitchers. For him, the key to this good development in the summer league is in the preseason.
"The key to this good start with Centauros has been in the preseason work, I arrived a week before practice began and I started working with Homy Ovalles (hitting coach), who has been an important part," he explained.
Now with the numbers that he averages, the native of Miranda state is positioned as a candidate for the bat champion, however, this individual recognition is not more important than helping his currency.
“Every baseball player wants to be a batting champion,” he said. “But right now I don't think about that. Only on how to help the team win, which is the important step”, he concluded.
