We are definitely working a lot on the fundamentals. We see them quite well.

"We are definitely working a lot on the fundamentals," stated Lauren Flores, president of the Technical Commission of Probeis (Professional Baseball League of Panama). "We see them quite well." Flores observed a recent training session at Rod Carew Stadium, noting that the Panamanian team's preparation is significantly advanced.

"This has been a somewhat hot session, and that's good for us. We think we are quite advanced and are achieving the objectives we want," Flores expressed. The training also included batting practice, with players taking swings in the cage. "We have to bring the runners who are on base to 'home plate' so that the offensive work can also be seen," he added.
