Former Chicago Cubs catcher David Ross finished second. Some may argue that his runner-up finish at 40 years old is more historic than the championship he won with the Cubs in November. The Cubs had already won two World Series. DWTS, however, had never even had a baseball player compete, let alone win the whole thing but he came close.

Jennings recorded two perfect scores in the final round. Jennings also defeated Fifth Harmony singer Normani Kordei in the finals.
