Gorin attended the University of Texas at Austin and was signed by the Boston Braves in 1950.[2] His professional career was interrupted by service in the Korean War, which caused him to miss the 1952 and 1953 seasons.[3] During his two major league auditions, Gorin compiled a 0–1 record with no saves, and allowed six hits, four earned runs and nine bases on balls in ten full innings pitched. He struck out 12 and compiled a 3.60 earned run average.
Gorin also played in the winter leagues, most notably in the Liga de Béisbol Profesional de Puerto Rico but also in Texas.[3] His career in minor league baseball extended through the 1961 season.
