Place the digits 0-9 in each row, column and two by five box without repeat.
A digit in a baseball (R2C2) indicates the number of times that digit appears in baseballs.
Pairs of cells with a "X" between them sum to 10.
Consecutive cells along a green line must have a difference of 5 or more.
Digits in a cage, or along the thin blue line dividing the grid diagonally, do not repeat.
Fill the grid with rectangles so that every cell is in a rectangle and each contains two baseballs. The number of cells in any rectangle is equal to the sum of its baseballs.
Example: If row 7 column 8 and row 9 column 6 were in opposite corners of the same rectangle, they must sum to 9.
White Kropki dots separate consecutive digits that are in separate rectangles.
Not all possible whispers, X's or dots have been given.
Lösungscode: Contents of the rectangle in the lower right corner of the grid. Digits in normal reading order.

Whew! I tend to struggle with coloring-heavy sudoku so this took me a couple of false starts (unfortunately more than once I went in the wrong direction with the coloring by missing that I hadn't actually fully eliminated an alternate possibility) but I eventually made it through! You did some interesting things with the "baseballs" and I enjoyed exploring all the ways they interacted with the various other constraints as the puzzle unfolded.
---Congratulations on another solve! Just to give you a heads up, I am working on another puzzle involving modularity on an 8x8 grid. Nothing as complicated as this but it should be out in the next few days. Thanks again!

Beautiful puzzle with nice interplay between the constraints, and i loved the break-in!
For me it felt like 3-3.5 stars
