Indianapolis Clowns coach Errick Fox has made his picks for 2027. Banana Ball announced Fox's Coach Franchise selections yesterday, and those 16 players join Jackie Bradley Jr., who fans voted to franchise earlier this offseason.
The Loco Beach Coconuts' selections were also announced Saturday. Two more teams will be revealed Sunday and the final two on Monday.
Fox left one of his 17 Coach Franchise picks unused, which gives the Clowns an extra pick in the supplemental round of the Player Draft.
