The Indianapolis Clowns opened it by taking left-handed pitcher Patrick Wicklander first overall. Teams made 39 selections in all: five regular rounds of six picks, three supplemental picks, and one entertainment pick per team. The supplemental picks went to the two teams that didn't use all of their Coach Franchise spots. The Clowns had one extra pick and the Loco Beach Coconuts had two. A few storylines stood out: - **Three former major leaguers were drafted.** Shane Greene went to the Party Animals, Charlie Culberson to the Savannah Bananas, and Kelby Tomlinson to the Coconuts. \- **Two Frontier League record holders were picked early.** Anthony Brocato holds the league's single-season home run record, and Stephen DiTomaso set its single-season hits record in 2026. \- **The entertainment round returned,** adding a tenor, a juggler, and a fire performer to the league.
