The available public references point to at least 2 MLB catchers using the Force3 XS3/Defender-style catcher’s helmet family: Salvador Perez and Yasmani Grandal. A broader 2022 catcher gear report also says Force3 masks were worn by 47% of MLB starting catchers , which suggests the brand is common, but it does not give a clean count specifically for the XS3 Pro helmet model.

What the evidence shows

  • Force3’s head protection was reported as worn by Salvador Perez and Yasmani Grandal, among many others.
  • Yasmani Grandal is directly tied to Force3 gear in multiple reports, including mask and other catching equipment.
  • The most concrete published count I found is for Force3 masks in general, not the XS3 Pro helmet specifically: 47% of MLB starting catchers in 2022.

Practical takeaway

If you want the exact number of MLB catchers using the Force3 XS3 Pro Catchers Helmet right now, that figure does not appear to be publicly tracked in a reliable, centralized way. Based on public sightings, the safe answer is at least a couple, and likely more , but not a precise league- wide count.

TL;DR

Exact count: not publicly documented.
Confirmed publicly: at least 2 MLB catchers, with Force3 broadly used by many more.
