LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, May 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ex-MLB star Yasiel Puig has partnered with Cal Dental USA and XSport Mouthguards to launch the XSport One™ Mouthguard, a high-performance, custom-fitted mouthguard designed to prevent oral and facial injuries in baseball. Building on the success of their Tiki Barber football edition, this collaboration expands XSport’s reach into one of the most widely played sports in America—starting with youth athletes.

“A esta etapa de mi carrera, los niños son la prioridad. Estamos construyendo algo más grande que el béisbol—más seguro, más inteligente, y para la próxima generación,” said Puig.

Translation:
"At this stage in my career, the kids come first. We’re building something bigger than baseball—safer, smarter, and made for the next generation."

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.
