Cory Rasmus
Cory Rasmus (born November 6, 1987) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Angels from 2013 to 2016. Drafted by Atlanta as the 38th overall pick in the 2006 MLB draft, he made his debut on May 22, 2013, and a week later pitched to his older brother Colby Rasmus—the first time a player faced his brother in an MLB game since 2010. After being traded to the Angels in July 2013, he had his best season in 2014, posting a 2.57 ERA and throwing scoreless innings in the ALDS, but injuries (including core surgery in 2016) ended his MLB tenure, and he was released by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2017. Known for a fastball reaching 97 mph and a sharp curveball, Rasmus also shares a remarkable family legacy: he and Colby both played in the 1999 Little League World Series, and his daughter and nephew later played in the 2026 edition.
