Harper told reporters he was on track to be ready for Opening Day.

"We'll see where I can get by Spring Training," the 2010 no.1 overall pick said, "and see if I can go through Spring Training and get to 100% by the time the season starts and see where I'm at."

Harper arrived at the Nats' facilities in Viera, Florida yesterday for his first official workout of the year.

Williams told reporters, including MLB.com's Bill Ladson that he liked what he saw from the outfielder on Day 1 of the 2014 campaign for Harper:

The Nationals sent out a Vine of Harper in the batting cage:
