Stephen Strasburg conducted his first workout with the Nationals on Sunday.

The first overall pick in June's First-Year Entry draft went through a 45-minutes workout with Washington at the team's spring training complex.

He has been followed closely by the media.

"I thought I'd get a little bit of peace out here on the field, but you guys are following me everywhere," Strasburg told the Washington Post. "It's something I guess I gotta deal with. I guess it just goes with the territory."
