Steve Green led the 1999 Pan American Games in ERA, allowing no runs in 10 innings. He was the winning hurler in a stunning victory over the Cuban national team in the round-robin to help Team Canada to the best record in the competition.
Pitched one game in 2001 and went on the DL for all of 2002. The Angels used a loophole in the postseason roster rules to get Francisco Rodriguez to replace him in the 2002 postseason.
Green was 2-0 for Canada in the 2008 Final Olympic Qualification Tournament to help them win a spot in the 2008 Olympics. He struck out 9 and allowed no runs in 6 2/3 IP, leading the tournament in ERA and tying Min-han Son, Kwang-hyun Kim, Chien-Ming Chiang, Chien-Fu Yang and teammates Scott Richmond and Alexandre Periard for the most wins. Despite being a reliever, he tied Kim, Adam Blackley and Barry Armitage for sixth in strikeouts.
Green threw 6 shutout innings, allowing 2 hits, in the 2008 Olympics, as Canada's top hurler. He had 4 scoreless innings against Taiwan, one against Japan and one against Cuba.
