Perfect Game Built Baseball’s Most Valuable Waiting Room
A weekend tournament company became the data layer between a teenager’s fastball and the people who can change his future. Thirty-one years in, Perfect Game’s real product is not the game - it is the record of who showed up and what happened next.

FTN (For The Numbers)
FTN - short for For The Numbers - is a Las Vegas-based sports data and media company that turns advanced NFL, MLB and NBA numbers into fantasy and betting tools. Launched in 2020 (when the only live sport was Korean baseball), it now runs a network of subscription sites for season-long fantasy, daily fantasy, and sports betting, publishes articles, podcasts and livestreams, and is the new home of Aaron Schatz's DVOA metric after Football Outsiders closed. It serves both consumers who want an edge in their leagues and B2B clients who license its proprietary data.
