New Jersey Devils prospect Nico Hischier is already reaping the benefits of being selected first overall in the NHL draft.
Just 48 hours after being named the top selection, the New York Yankees welcomed the 18-year-old to Yankee Stadium ahead of their matinee against the Texas Rangers on Sunday and gave him the full VIP experience.
Hischier got to take the field pregame and meet the entire Yankees coaching staff, including manager Joe Girardi.
