Rule42 Acquires 64 Analytics

“Transfer portal talent management is essential for building winning programs in college athletics,” said Renée James, founder and CEO of Rule42. “64 Analytics has set the standard for portal analytics in baseball and softball and bringing that expertise into Rule42 will make it easier for the right athletes and programs to find each other. I am thrilled Jason is joining our team to continue developing the vision he started at 64 Analytics. This is another step toward our larger goal of modernizing how amateur athletes are discovered, so that opportunity follows ability rather than resources or connections.”

The acquisition enriches Rule42’s portfolio for athlete discovery by combining 64 Analytics’ leading transfer portal data and real-time NCAA player rankings into an integrated Rule42 coach’s tool for overall player talent management. 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. Together, our combined technology will bring unprecedented clarity to teams and expand opportunities for amateur athletes nationwide.”
