The Jupiter Hammerheads are a Minor League Baseball team of the Florida State League and the Single-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins. They are located in the town of Jupiter in Palm Beach County, Florida, and play their home games at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. Opened in 1998, the park seats 6,871 people. They share the facility with the Palm Beach Cardinals, also of the Florida State League.
On May 23, 2011, the Hammerheads gained national attention after playing in a 23-inning game against the Clearwater Threshers.
In 2012, the Hammerheads won the 2nd Half Division Title and went on to defeat the St. Lucie Mets in a decisive Game 3 of the Division Championship Series to capture their first ever Division title. Jupiter lost in the FSL Championship in the fifth and final game against the Lakeland Flying Tigers, despite holding a 2–1 lead after Game 3.
In conjunction with Major League Baseball's restructuring of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the Hammerheads were organized into the Low-A Southeast at the Low-A classification. In 2022, the Low-A Southeast became known as the Florida State League, the name historically used by the regional circuit prior to the 2021 reorganization, and was reclassified as a Single-A circuit.
In 2023, the Hammerheads won their first ever Florida State League championship when they beat the Clearwater Threshers 7-4 in the 3rd game of the best of three series.
