Bryce Harper leaves the yard in Nats' victory
Bryce Harper - OF - Washington Nationals
March 1, 2013 - 10:25 PM ET

Bryce Harper bashed his first home run of the spring, leading the Nationals to a 6-5 victory over the Braves on Friday.

Harper's first inning blast was the only hit the Nationals could muster in three innings against Braves starter Julio Teheran. The defending NL Rookie of the Year is off to a blistering start this spring, hitting .538 (7-for-13) with three extra base hits. Don't be surprised if the 20-year-old phenom creeps into the back end of the first round of fantasy drafts before the end of March.
