I don't have a specific fielding for Yamamoto, I just assume he's RG level, or a little below (I mean, the RG is supposed to outclass the Gotei as a whole, but they never specified if its each individual RG, so, I've personally took that their full power dwarfs the others, but it doesn't mean each individual eclipses every individual on the opposite side). For a sense of scale, he's above an adv. Captain, but below the Royal Guard and its largely all raw power, very little in the way of expending it in any meaningful way, and no real control over it. Its like Ichigo, he's just a giant beacon telling people to shoot him.

They're M.O with the Jagdarmee was "You tried to kill me, bravo, welcome to the club, have a free hat!". Plus they allied with Hikari, no one with a sensible screening process would ally with him.
