Sam Militello. Wasn't even that long ago but pretty much forgotten today. Statistically was one of the great minor league pitchers ever before he got injured. Something like 34-8, 1.75 ERA and plenty of K's. Managed to pitch a few good games with the Yankees in the early 90's before his career was effectively ended at twenty-two.

Does Buck Freeman count as obscure to pre-war experts? The only guy ever to hit twenty-five HRs and twenty-five 3Bs in the same season. Otherwise, I'll pick Tex Neuer.
