Unequal Technologies Company has signed on as the Official Performance Protection Partner for both Babe Ruth League and Cal Ripken Baseball, a division of BRL.

“As baseball protection continues to evolve, it is as important as ever that our players use the most advanced gear to protect players and mitigate debilitating injuries. Partnering with Unequal was our first choice because of its advanced technology, impeccable reputation, and history protecting the pros in the MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA, FIFA, as well as Olympians, without impeding their peak performance,” said Steven Tellefsen, president and CEO of the Babe Ruth League. “Both Babe Ruth League and Cal Ripken Baseball, a division of BRL, are pleased that Unequal’s heart, head, and groin protection is now available for our players. It’s reassuring to know the future of MLB is using the same protection as the pros.”

The leagues recommend that players of all ages protect their head, heart and groin with the Uncap, Uncup and HART shirts. Unequal gear features a patented lightweight, flexible, military-grade composite that helps reduce the risk of injuries, without hindering mobility, agility and performance.

“As a parent, I believe that every player should safely play the sport they love without having to worry about life-altering injuries,” said Rob Vito, CEO of Unequal Technologies. “We are honored to partner with Babe Ruth League and Cal Ripken Baseball, a division of BRL, on such a critical mission to protect our most precious resource – the kids. Unequal empowers players to safely enjoy America’s favorite pastime.”
