Team Power gives the cleanest single read on overall club quality. The ladder below is the quickest way to see where the separation bands start.
This map shows whether clubs win through scoring, run suppression, or a true two-way profile.

Guggenberger Legionäre is the No. 1 Team Power club in the 2025 German Bundesliga dataset. Regensburg owns the best team shape in the league: top offense, top prevention, top defense, and the largest workload base, which is exactly how an MLB-ready evaluation environment should look. The shape is driven by offense (#1) and run prevention (#1) and still needs more from offense.

Bonn Capitals is the No. 2 Team Power club in the 2025 German Bundesliga dataset. Bonn does not have Regensburg's defensive completeness, but the Capitals still live in the championship tier because the mound talent and lineup ceiling are both real. The shape is driven by offense (#2) and run prevention (#2) and still needs more from speed.
Heidenheim Heideköpfe is the No. 3 Team Power club in the 2025 German Bundesliga dataset. Heidenheim has as much high-end offensive talent as anyone in Germany, and the supporting defense keeps the star bats from carrying the whole burden alone. The shape is driven by defense (#2) and offense (#3) and still needs more from speed.

Stuttgart Reds is the No. 4 Team Power club in the 2025 German Bundesliga dataset. Stuttgart has enough offense, enough prevention, and more pace than most of the league, which makes the Reds one of the least fragile teams outside the top three. The shape is driven by speed (#2) and offense (#4) and still needs more from run prevention.

Hamburg Stealers is the No. 5 Team Power club in the 2025 German Bundesliga dataset. Hamburg wins by keeping run environments under control. The Stealers are structurally solid, but the lineup still needs another real force bat to threaten the top tier. The shape is driven by defense (#3) and run prevention (#4) and still needs more from speed.

Cologne Cardinals is the No. 6 Team Power club in the 2025 German Bundesliga dataset. Cologne is balanced enough to keep both hitter and pitcher evaluations clean, but the Cardinals still need more impact volume to move out of the middle lane. The shape is driven by defense (#4) and speed (#5) and still needs more from offense.

Untouchables Paderborn is the No. 7 Team Power club in the 2025 German Bundesliga dataset. Paderborn lives close to league average almost everywhere, which makes the roster useful for player evaluation but harder to separate in the standings without one elite unit. The shape is driven by offense (#5) and defense (#6) and still needs more from run prevention.
Gauting Indians is the No. 8 Team Power club in the 2025 German Bundesliga dataset. Gauting carries two top-four bats in the country and still lands eighth in Team Power, which tells you the support context is the real problem rather than the headline talent. The shape is driven by run prevention (#8) and offense (#9) and still needs more from speed.

Mainz Athletics is the No. 9 Team Power club in the 2025 German Bundesliga dataset. Mainz is close enough to the middle that player lines still carry value, but the Athletics need more pitching stability if they want the roster to move up rather than hold ground. The shape is driven by speed (#7) and offense (#8) and still needs more from run prevention.
Hünstetten STORM is the No. 10 Team Power club in the 2025 German Bundesliga dataset. Hünstetten can still run a little by league standards, but the STORM give too much back in prevention and overall talent density to hold up against the upper half. The shape is driven by speed (#3) and offense (#10) and still needs more from defense.

München-Haar Disciples is the No. 11 Team Power club in the 2025 German Bundesliga dataset. München-Haar sits at the bottom of the DBL shape table because there is no true carrying unit left to offset the weakest prevention profile in the league. The shape is driven by defense (#10) and offense (#11) and still needs more from offense.
