Yasiel Puig, Cal Dental USA, and XSport Unveil the XSport One™ Mouthguard to Redefine Safety in Baseball

Ex-MLB star Yasiel Puig partners with Cal Dental USA & XSport to launch the XSport One™ Mouthguard, advancing safety and tech in youth baseball.

Why Baseball Needs Mouthguards—The Data
While often overlooked, oral and facial injuries are alarmingly common in baseball:

A Journal of Athletic Training study found that up to 37% of injuries in youth baseball involve the face, mouth, or head.

Catchers experience 1–2 foul tip impacts to the mask per game at competitive levels.

The American Academy of Pediatrics reports over 110,000 baseball-related injuries per year, with dental trauma among the most frequent.

The National Youth Sports Safety Foundation estimates that more than 3 million teeth are knocked out annually in youth sports.

Despite this, mouthguards are still not required in baseball—making education and access critical.

“The data doesn’t lie. We saw the impact our football partnership had with Tiki, and it was clear baseball needed its own version,” said James Jones, CEO of Cal Dental USA. “Whether you're behind the plate or sliding into home, you’re at risk—and the XSport One™ helps reduce that risk immediately.”

From the Convention Floor to the Dugout
The XSport One™ Mouthguard was spotlighted at CDA 2025, where dental professionals and industry leaders got a first-hand look at its performance benefits and protective strength. The response was overwhelmingly positive, especially among pediatric dentists, athletic trainers, and school health advocates.

“Puig brings authenticity and purpose,” said Ian Miller, XSport Mouthguards co-founder. “His passion for the game and for helping kids play safely is exactly what this movement needs.”

Now Available Nationwide
The XSport One™ Mouthguard: Puig Edition will be available beginning September 2025 through participating Cal Dental USA clinics, youth organizations, and online at www.XSportMouthguards.com.
