It is possible that Vaughn Grissom’s electric debut is mostly forgotten. It is notoriously difficult to project the futures of prospects making the steep ascent from the minor leagues to the majors. One great game does not mean greatness is coming.

It is also possible that Grissom, a speedy 21-year-old Braves infielder who cleared the Green Monster on Wednesday in his first major league game, represents another challenge to the Mets’ dash first to the NL East title and then to the World Series. The Braves are growing stronger.

It is not just possible but a near certainty that Grissom serves as a reminder: The Braves are built for the long haul, and their reservoir of talent under contractual control is going to be a problem for the Mets for a long time.

The 2022 Mets have been a revelation. If the Yankees owned the first half of the season, the Mets have been the second half’s darling. But the Mets are not a collection of plucky, upstart prospects coming into their own. Their roster is filled with veterans who have been here before, spiritually if not geographically.
