When Scott Caldwell comes on the field for the New England Revolution in 2021, there’s usually one reason why.
Caldwell has taken on the role of a closer serving as a defensive midfield option who can come into games and lock down wins. Primarily coming off the bench, New England is now 8-0-0 when Caldwell makes an appearance in a match. He’s the Revs version of Jonathan Papelbon (or Mariano Rivera for this Yankees fan).
This is quite surprising seeing how much of a role Caldwell had etched out in 2020. Prior to finally making the starting XI on Saturday, Caldwell’s last start was in the Eastern Conference Finals loss to the Columbus Crew.
