Cory Nathanial Gearrin (born April 14, 1986 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA) is a major league baseball relief pitcher currently on the Atlanta Braves active roster.

Prior to playing professionally, Gearrin attended Rhea County High School and then Mercer University. In 2007 with Mercer, he went 4-3 with a 2.44 ERA in 26 relief appearances. He had 13 saves and 65 strikeouts in 44 innings of work, allowing only 15 hits. Gearrin was then drafted by the Braves in the fourth round of the 2007 amateur draft.

He began his professional career in 2007, going 1-1 with a 4.44 ERA in 18 relief appearances, striking out 37 batters in 26 1/3 innings of work for the Danville Braves. The following season, he went 6-3 with a 4.11 ERA in 36 relief appearances for the Rome Braves and Myrtle Beach Pelicans, striking out 72 batters in 46 innings pitched. In 2009, Gearrin played for the Pelicans and Mississippi Braves, going a combined 1-4 with a 2.30, saving 19 games. He pitched for the Gwinnett Braves in 2010, going 3-5 with a 3.36 ERA in 52 relief appearances.[1]

On April 22, 2011, Gearrin was called up to Atlanta's major league team from AAA Gwinnett, a move that General Manager, Frank Wren, described as a "necessity." In the bottom of the ninth of a tied game against San Diego on April 25, 2011, Gearrin made his major league debut by retiring the side in order and getting a strikeout. Returning to the mound for the bottom of the tenth, Gearrin again retired the Padres in order while registering another stikeout.

On May 1, 2011, Gearrin recorded his first blown save after giving up the tying in the 7th inning to the St. Louis Cardinals, a game the Braves later came back to win.
