While in the area from Charlotte, NC, we found WNY Strike Zone. Our 12 year old son trained with Coach James before heading to Cooperstown. Our son enjoyed his experience and Coach James was fabulous to work with. This will be our go to training place while in the Buffalo Niagara area.

A great place to get lessons. Coach Fort is one of the best in the area, and has baseball expertise accessible to all age groups.

I met James Fort over the summer when I played for the Power, and he welcomed me with open arms. After my season, he offered to help me train in the offseason with his pitching program. Since then, I’ve gained a good 15 lbs and elevated my level of pitching. James is extremely knowledgeable and has a lot to offer. He cares a lot about his players and is great to work with in person or virtually. Baseball players in WNY are lucky to have him around the corner.

- Coach Fort is a great mentor, and gives me confidence each and everyday to get better- The WNY StrikeZone environment is second to none, you learn from the best, and connect with other kids while doing what you love.- From going to StrikeZone as a kid to present date, I have seen amazing strides in my game that I couldn’t have done without Coach Fort and his guys.

My son has been going to James for a few years now. His knowledge of the game, training is second to none. He is polite, courteous, and a true professional. He not only trains his athletes to be better ball players, but better people. If I could go be more than five stars, I would. My son has learned so much from James, and has become a much better ball player. If your daughter or son is looking for some, one on one training, please reach out to James at WNY Strike Zone. We have been to other places, but his training and rates are second to none. We are so glad that we found James a few years ago.

I was very impressed with Coach Fort and strike zone!! I spent an hour each day at their camp. Kids were engaged , getting plenty of reps, leaning the game , and having fun. My son Joey said it was 10 out of 10 and keeps on asking if he can go back !!

WNY Strikezone is amazing and has everything you could ever ask for in the baseball training world. Jim is extremely knowledgeable and knows all of the best ways to take your game to the next level. He has helped me improve tremendously both pitching and hitting, as well as improved how I mentally approach the game.

I’ve been working out at WNY Strike Zone for almost three years now and I have nothing but great things to say. Every day you go in to compete there’s never a lackadaisical day, when you’re there it’s to work and have fun. What more could I say about Jimbo that hasn’t already been said, he’s changed my game as a pitcher and I have nothing but gratitude towards him.

Coach James has been the biggest blessing for our son as he began to develop and navigate his way through travel baseball. Having trained at another facility prior to meeting James, we knew instantly upon meeting him at a summer baseball clinic that that his energy and enthusiasm was second to none. Coach James takes the time to really get to know your child and in turn tailors his approach based on their needs and learning style. He is constantly going the extra mile to show unconditional support to our son. Whether it is checking in via text after an important game, asking for video or feedback on things that they have been working at, he makes us feel like more than just a number, and we know he is invested in our son’s success. We highly recommend WNY StrikeZone!!!!

You can't help but get excited and feel good about your skills when you are with Coach James at WNY Strike Zone. My daughter had sessions there for batting with her travel team. She loved it! Her skills were enhanced and the positivity is infectious!! She's so proud to be on the leader board and works hard to reach her goals. She loved it there so much we have continued with one on one sessions to keep working hard and keep her confidence up. She's a 7th grader that made the Varsity softball team at school and Coach James helped her get there. Thank you!!
