The 2026 Jupiter Hammerheads are off to a solid start through almost the first two months. Jupiter is looking to get back to the Florida State League playoffs for the first time since 2023 when Jupiter won its first Florida State League Championship. The club is full of talent and several players listed among the Top 30 Marlins prospects including PJ Morlando, Carter Johnson, and Andrew Salas who draw a lot of headlines given their draft and international signing statuses. However, one player on the Hammerheads has been a consistent and productive player for over a year, and continues to turn heads in the organization.
Abrahan Ramírez was born in Acarigua, Venezuela, a large town of just over 100,000 people located approximately 55 miles away from the larger city of Barquisimeto which has over 1 million people. Growing up, Ramírez found his love and talent for baseball. He signed with the New York Yankees as an international free agent on January 15, 2022 at 17 years old. Ramírez spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons playing for the both of the Yankees’ rookie ball teams in the Dominican Summer League. In 2024, Ramírez made his stateside debut with the FCL-Yankees where he earned FCL Post-Season All-Star honors with a .348 batting average, .447 on-base percentage, and a .513 slugging percentage.
On July 27, 2024, Ramírez was acquired by the Miami Marlins, along with Jared Serna and Augustín Ramírez, in exchange for Jazz Chisholm Jr. who was traded to the New York Yankees. Following the trade, Ramírez did not see any official game action for the Marlins organization to finish the 2024 season.
Ramírez spent the entire 2025 season with the Jupiter Hammerheads in his first full season in the Marlins organization. In 91 games, Ramírez played second base and third base in the field and finished with a .238 batting average, .372 on-base percentage, and a .674 OPS at the plate. His 46 RBIs, 68 walks, and 19 doubles all ranked second-most on the Hammerheads.
During the 2025 season, Ramírez showed the Florida State League that he was one of the more patient hitters after he showcased two different top-10 on-base streaks. Between May 11 and June 19 last season, Ramírez went on a 28-game on-base streak which was tied for the fourth-longest on-base streak in the FSL. Between July 3 and August 28, he went on a separate 27-game on-base streak which was the sixth-longest streak in the league.
The 21-year-old infielder is off to a strong start for Jupiter in his second season with the Hammerheads and as a member of the Marlins organization. Formerly listed as a Top-30 Marlins prospect according to MLB Pipeline, Ramírez is having under-the-radar success on the field and all over the Jupiter lineup in 2026. He became the first Hammerhead to 20 RBIs and is among the team leaders in several different hitting categories. Rankings and statistics aside, the player that teammates and coaches call “Chuchi” continues to make an impression on and off the field.
“His nickname is Chuchi. Everybody loves Chuchi! He has a smile on his face running around. He’s one of these guys [that you could] roll balls to him on a backfield and he’ll just go have fun with the boys. That’s just Abrahan,” says Jupiter Hammerheads manager Kyle Stahlberg. “The way you see him out there is what you see in the locker room. He’s just a joy to be around. To see him go up [to the batter’s box], I’ve watched his swing and I’ve seen that he’s been close [to hitting home runs]. To see him finally connect on one, I got a feeling we’re going to see more of those here in the future.”
Brennan Erlandsen, Broadcasting and Media Relations Coordinator at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, had the chance to speak to Abrahan Ramirez on Saturday, May 9th as part of a dugout conversation. Ramírez offered some insight into what he’s been working on in his game and his overall background.
Ramirez also had the chance to practice some English with the help of Ruthy Muñoz who is a bilingual life skills and player education specialist for the Miami Marlins organization. The Miami Marlins require all Hispanic-born players to take English classes five days a week as part of an organization-wide initiative to improve the players English and to make the players acclimate better to their careers in the United States.
Here is the dugout conversation between Ramírez and Erlandsen on May 9:
