Biographical Information

Dustin Glant was a minor-league player and has been a high school, college, and professional coach.

Glant played his collegiate ball at Purdue. He was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks as a pitcher in the 7th round of the 2003 MLB June Amateur Draft. He played six seasons in the Diamondbacks organization. In 2009-2010, he played for the Schaumburg Flyers in the independent Northern League. In 2011, he finished his professional baseball career with the Winnipeg Goldeyes of the American Association.

After leaving professional baseball, he coached at Marathon High School in Florida. Glant served as the volunteer assistant coach at Ball State University in 2013 and then worked as a head coach at Mount Vernon High School (2014) and Lapel High School (2015). He was head coach of Anderson University in 2016. Glant returned to Ball State in late 2016 as the Cardinals' pitching coach where he remained through the 2019 season. His 2019 Cardinals staff led NCAA Division I with an 11.1 K/9.0IP ratio and set a school strikeout record for the third straight season with 628.[1]

The New York Yankees hired Glant as a coach in mid 2019. He was scheduled to be the Staten Island Yankees pitching coach in 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic caused the minor league season to be cancelled. Glant was pitching coach for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders in 2021.

Glant then became the pitching coach at Indiana University in 2022. He quickly found success as the 2022 Hoosiers pitching staff recorded 600 strikeouts which ranks second in Big Ten Conference history behind the University of Iowa's 609 strikeouts the same season. Glant left Indiana at the end of 2025. During his tenure as pitching coach, the Hoosiers had nine different pitchers selected in the MLB Draft. Two of those (Craig Yoho and Jack Perkins) have already debuted in the big leagues.[2]

Glant left that gig in 2026 when he was named bullpen coach of the Washington Nationals.
