Biographical Information

Edson Piovan has played for the Peruvian national team.

He was born in Venezuela but played in Italy for many years. In the 2016 South American Championship, he hit .316/.480/.368; he had one of Peru's two hits in their semifinal loss to Brazil's Vitor Souza. He also allowed one run in 3 1/3 IP in the round-robin portion, third on Peru behind Ken Ishihara and Diego Uezu. He handled 40 chances error-free and led the event's first basemen in fielding. He also played in the 2017 Bolivarian Games, he was 0 for 9 with a walk and allowed 5 runs (4 earned) in 4 innings, losing to Venezuela. He did tie Edgar Paredes for 4th on the 11-man staff in ERA, though. He allowed 14 hits and 9 runs in 5 1/3 IP for Padova BSC in the 2017 Serie A1 in Italy, making it to Italy's top league.

Piovan was 0-3 with a 10.87 ERA for Settimo in 2021, again returning to Serie A1 (thanks to a big expansion thereof). He hit .292/.339/.327 as one of Settimo's better hitters; one of the others, Williams Wong, would sign a Texas Rangers deal two years later.
