Our Mission

Walk-Off Labs builds products that help baseball teams turn data into actionable insights. We're a small group of engineers and academics with deep expertise in statistics, machine learning, and game theory.

The Problem We Solve

Every team in baseball has access to sophisticated matchup models and probability estimates. The tools exist. The data exists. But most teams aren't using them optimally.

Traditional approaches look at individual matchups in isolation. They tell you the probability of an outcome, but they don't tell you how to sequence decisions across an entire game to maximize your chances of winning.

Our Approach

We use game theory and Markov Decision Process (MDP) solvers to find optimal strategies. Instead of asking "what's the best play right now?", we ask "what sequence of decisions gives us the best chance to win the game?"

Our platform, Perfect Game, takes the Bayesian matchup models that teams are already using and finds the optimal way to act on them.
