By combining 64 Analytics’ deep collegiate dataset with Rule42’s proprietary sports LLM technology, the company is advancing its mission to reinvent athlete discovery across every stage of a player’s journey including coach’s discovery and management of players.
“Joining Rule42 is an exciting next step for 64 Analytics and our community of coaches and players,” said Jason Ratcliff, founder of 64 Analytics and incoming Director of Amateur Baseball Analytics at Rule42. “Rule42 shares our core belief that concrete, validated data should drive talent evaluation.
