Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
- The Nationals’ pitching coach situation has seen changes in the 2025–2026 offseason, with reports in late 2025 highlighting new hires on the pitching staff as part of Blake Butera’s coaching crew for 2026. This includes hiring decisions around a dedicated pitching coach and supporting staff as Washington rebuilt its staff after prior seasons of underperformance.[1][2]
- Specific names mentioned in credible outlets during that period include Dustin Glant joining as a pitching staff member with college-coach roots, and Simon Mathews being named as pitching coach after previous roles with other MLB clubs.[2][1]
- The broader context for Nationals pitching staff changes has included multiple shifts to emphasize development and collaboration between the pitching coach and the rest of the staff, as the organization searched for improved performance and consistency on the mound.[1][2]
If you’d like, I can look up the most current, post-2025 updates and provide a concise, cited summary with the exact names and dates. I can also give you a quick timeline of the key pitching-coach changes over the last couple of seasons.
