2025 was Katie Chronister's fourth season as the Saints' pitching coach. 

In 2025, Chronister helped the saints to a fourth straight 30 win season. The Saints went to more arms this season, with Ryleigh Bauer and Ryleigh Bennett in the circle for the majority of defensive innings, and both earned First Team All-Citrus Conference honors. 

The 2024 Saints went 39-22, marking a third straight 30-win season. Mallory Forester was named Citrus Conference Softball Pitcher of the Year after a 17-7 record over 166.2 innings pitched in the regular season. Forrester finished the year with a 1.81 ERA and 6.25 K/7. Ryleigh Bauer appeared in 33 games and kept an ERA of 2.42, with the pair combining to keep opponents to a .231 batting average against. 

In 2023, SF had another 30-win season. Pitchers Kensley Durrance (First Team All Mid-Florida Conference) and Sophie Abrams (Second Team All Mid-Florida Conference) benefitted from Chronister's tutelage. 

In 2022, SF posted an overall record of 32-19 with a 13-7 mark in the MFC. The Saints held a 21-6 record on their home field, and the 32 wins overall surpassed the mark of 31 in 2021, continuing the program's upward trajectory.
