I get it, people wanna stay objective. And yeah, one game is premature to use as a predicator for a career...
But i will say this, excellence usually shows itself pretty damn early in the process. If you don't see it early, it doesn't mean a player wont be good.
But GREAT? GREAT players usually show up on scene right away and then grow and maintain greatness from there.

There was a great quote that I think was from Tony Gwynn that seems kind of applicable here. He said:
"An average hitter will see a pitcher and adjust by the next game. A good hitter will see a pitcher and adjust by the next at-bat. A great hitter will see a pitch and adjust by the next pitch."
It didn't look like Caleb was doing any adjusting at all.
