The Capitals have won the northern division championship nine times, most recently in 2023, and advanced to the finals of the Bundesliga play-offs seven times, winning twice (in 2018 and 2022). They were runners-up in the European Cup in 2021, the third German team ever to do so and the first in over a decade. In the 2022 European Cup, the team advanced to the semi-finals before being narrowly defeated by Parma Baseball Club and subsequently secured the third place after defeating San Marino. In 2023, they again lost to Parma in the semi-finals and finished fourth after co-host Amsterdam Pirates won the bronze medal game.
