On August 25, 2014, a week before the end of the 2014 season, it was announced that the team would cease operations in Jamestown and be relocated to Morgantown, West Virginia, beginning in 2015.
That year, the club, which is owned by Bob Rich, Jr., began play at Monongalia County Ballpark, as the West Virginia Black Bears.
On June 19, 2006, the eve of opening day, the team officially announced the name of its new mascot: Bubba Grape, the Baseball Ape.
After a decade of affiliation with the Florida/Miami Marlins, the Jammers signed a player development contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 18, 2012.

[11] A new Jammers team began play in 2016 as a member of the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League.
[13] The nonprofit holding company entrusted with the Jammers intellectual property did not anticipate being able to field a team in 2019 and intended to rejoin the PGCBL in 2020 at the time of the closure.
