Default good guesses but STEE-RIKE two

As I mentioned these guys were strikeout artists relative to their era - as in multiple times leading the league - but not all-time K artists. In fact you might be surprised they did lead their leagues -

Their careers overlapped by a few years, but one is strongly associated with the 1930s and one with the 1940s. Also, as I said, they share something VERY significant with Koufax.

Would the inference be a pair of Jewish pitchers?

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Well, he was born young...but that might apply to way too many pitchers.

Gomez led the league in Ks three times, Newhouser twice.

Although he walked a fair number of batters, Gomez also had zero balks in his career, and only 39 wild pitches in 2500 innings. Very smart and fundamentally solid player.
