6-4-3 Charts and Walk-Off Analytics have announced their partnership to collaborate on data analytics tools to provide NCAA Baseball and Softball Coaches with the most cutting-edge resources to make data-driven decisions like never before.
Through this partnership, Walk-Off Analytics will leverage the historical and in-season 6-4-3 Charts NCAA data to enhance the first simulation modeling tool on the market, Seqnzr. Seqnzr is a simulation that models a baseball and softball game down to the smallest details. It will now have the ability to leverage the event-level play-by-play data upon which 6-4-3 Charts has built its loyal following. Seqnzr’s simulations will allow coaches to generate thousands of scenarios with various lineups to evaluate each player’s impact on run production and gather other offensive insights.
“We are thrilled to partner with Brian and the team at Walk-Off Analytics to continue the evolution around the scouting and game preparation realms of baseball and softball analytics,” said 6-4-3 Charts CEO and Co-Founder Derek Weldon. “Seqnzr will be an incredible tool for coaches to take a data-driven approach to lineup optimization and many other facets of offensive strategy. We are also excited about the potential this partnership provides for our team at 6-4-3 Charts and the Walk-Off Analytics team to collaborate on other dynamic and innovative offerings in the future.”
“6-4-3 Chart’s data allows us to fit our simulation with the highest level of accuracy, using objective baserunning rates and other aspects of the game,” said Seqnzr Co-Founder Brian McAfee. “They have an incredibly well-respected team with both the coaching knowledge and technical expertise that will help guide Seqnzr and future products built on top of our unique simulation modeling capability.”

About Walk-Off Analytics
Walk-Off Analytics is built around Seqnzr, a high-fidelity simulation of an NCAA baseball or softball game. It gives coaches the ability to play thousands of games with the click of a button, allowing them to gather insights and create a data-driven strategy before they step on the field. Seqnzr shows expected run production of different lineups, as well as other unique statistics such as expected baserunners and (coming soon) run expectancy matrices unique to your team and lineup.
The company was recently co-founded by Brian and Frank McAfee (father & son), who built simulations for Nike and Boeing, respectively. In combining that technical background with Brian’s background playing baseball with Cornell, Duke, Tampa Bay, and Seattle, they created Seqnzr in an effort to give college baseball and softball coaches access to the same technology used at the highest level of the sports.
