Bryce Harper wasted no time, crushing a deep homer on the first pitch he saw at Spring Training

Hello again, Mr. Harper. 
On Saturday, the Nationals and Mets began their Spring Training action with a game at Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie, Fla., as the NL East rivals got reacquainted.
And, keeping in line with his status as one of the Nats' prime offensive foces, Bryce Harper wasted absolutely no time in crushing (and we mean crushing) his first homer of the spring on the fist pitch he saw from Sean Gilmartin in the first inning:

Not bad (or surprising) for a guy who deadlifted 505 pounds this offseason like it was no big deal.
