None immediately come to mind. Malik Collymore was traded away.

Its seems no scouts for any team were looking for amateur talent in Saskatchewan, in those days. A friend of Red gave a referral and the Cards offered the princely bonus of $1,000. Cleveland must have not had an agent or alternatives, so accepted. Its nice that he overcame long odds to rise to the majors.

The answer to how Reggie came to the attention of the Cards is spelled out in detail in the SABR bio link in the article above.

Reggie Cleveland was born in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. This place name sounds authentically Canadian.
The Cards signed him after the first June draft, held in 1965. So he was an undrafted free agent, which groups him with Tom Herr and Bernard Gilkey, also undrafted after high school. The Cards were pretty good in those days at signing amateurs who became effective ML starting pitchers. Cleveland was NL rookie pitcher of the year in 1971, or so I believe.

The Cards signed Rheal Cormier, but IIRC this was after college ball in the States. How Reggie came to the attention of the Cards might be an interesting story.
