Alexander Mayeta Kerr (born July 22, 1977 in Playa, Havana, Cuba) is a first baseman with Industriales of the Cuban National Series. He was the most valuable player in the National Series for the 2005-06 season.

MVP season

Industriales won their 11^th title in 2005-06, and Mayeta put up solid numbers for the team, though there were many other players with comparable statistics in the National Series. Mayeta hit a respectable .315, and his 15 home runs and 71 RBIs led the team (tied for 11^th and 13^th in the league, respectively). However, he was seventh on the team in doubles, and his .555 slugging percentage was far off the league-leading pace set by Michel Enríquez of Isla de la Juventud (.690).
