Doc vs Schaefer: Who Was NY’s Best Teen Star?

We haven’t had many truly great teenagers, so who was better as a teen, Doc Gooden or Matthew Schaefer? A Twitter poll sparks the conversation, and the guys react to a surprisingly detailed AI breakdown that basically says: Doc’s teenage dominance was “significant” and “not particularly close”, citing the historic 1984-85 run, the strikeouts, and the league-wide impact. They also dig into the context gap, how training and development are totally different now compared to Doc’s era (travel sports, resources, modern development), and why Doc’s peak can still feel underappreciated because so many fans never saw it live.
