Oliver Bonk went across the street to meet his new neighbors on Saturday.

The Philadelphia Flyers' second first-round pick of the 2023 Upper Deck NHL Draft visited the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Wearing a custom Phillies jersey with the number 23, Bonk gave the Phillies mascot a high five on the way out to the mound before tossing the pitch.

At Development Camp earlier in the day, Bonk had a chance to practice his first pitch in front of his peers.

Even with the practice throw, the pitch before the game was a bit off the plate, but no doubt if Bonk had his hockey stick it would've been right down the middle.

The Seattle Kraken's draft class also had a day out at the ballpark on Saturday, with their first-round draft pick Eduard Sale throwing out the first pitch before the Seattle Mariners game at T-Mobile Park.
