Biographical Information

Gabriele Angioi has played in the Serie A1 and for the Italian national team.

His father Walter played baseball for the local Cagliari team and his mother Teresa played softball for them; she was pregnant with Gabriele when her team won the playoffs one year. His brother Filippo Angioi followed him into Serie A1. Gabriele played regularly for Italy in the 2016 U18 European Championship, when he was only 15; he hit .348/.375/.435 with 5 runs and 6 RBI in 6 games, fielding .932. During the 2017 U-18 Baseball World Cup, he produced at a .276/.382/.310 rate, fielding .870. The shortstop tied Carter Young and Jefersson Lopez for 4th in assists (21) but also tied Kaito Kozono and Yahya Patel for second in errors (6). He was at .467/.550/.667 with 6 runs and 8 RBI in 5 games in the 2018 U18 European Championship, tying for 9th in slugging and tying Louis Brainville for 7th in RBI.

Making his Serie A1 debut with his hometown Cagliari team in 2021 (the club was then managed by his father), he tore the cover off the ball in limited time - .386/.500/.579 with 21 runs in 17 games against much older competition. He was 0-3 with a save and a 14.21 ERA on the hill. In 2022, he bated .377/.500/.570 with 6 triples, 34 runs and 14 steals (caught once) in 31 games, also going 4-0 with 4 saves and a 3.72 ERA, striking out 38 in 29 innings. He was among the league leaders in slugging (8th, between Giaconino Lasaracina and Danny Andres), slugging (tied Jorge Luis Barcelán for 6th), triples (tied Michele Pomponi for 3rd), HBP (10, tied Marco Sandalo for 2nd), steals (tied Alessandro Beccari for 9th) and saves (tied for 9th).

In the 2023 U-23 European Championship, he was 1 for 12 but with a walk, 5 times plunked, 7 runs and a RBI. He led in HBP, tied Darrion Richards and Marnix Ruben for the most swipes (3) and tied Richards and Jacob Lambdin for the run lead despite his single hit. That summer in Italy, he was even better at the plate (.475/.575/.648, 49 R in 32 G, 17 SB in 20 tries, 15 HBP) and was 1-0 with no runs allowed in 7 2/3 IP. He was 7th in assists (94), tied for 7th in errors (14), second in double plays turned (29), second in average (.033 behind Jose Cuesta), 6th in slugging (between Kasey Caras and Marcos Diaz), 2nd in OBP (.037 behind Cuesta), 4th in OBP (between Barcelán and Caras), first in runs (one ahead of former minor leaguer Federico Celli), 4th in hits (55), 2nd in HBP and tied Davide Benetti for 3rd in steals.

Angioi was 2-for-19 with two walks, a HBP and a run for Italy in the 2024 Haarlem Baseball Week, fielding .909. He tied Min-Yi Yang for 6th with 18 assists but his 3 errors were second to Gehrig Goldbeck. He hit .326/.425/.379 and had a 0-1, 2.70 for Parma in the 2024 Serie A1 regular season. He tied for 6th in runs (23), tied for 3rd in HBP (7) and tied Davide Piccoli for 6th in assists (65). Parma made it to the 2024 Italian Series and had 3 hits in their opening win over ASD San Marino. He produced at a .333/.500/.467 clip with 4 runs in 5 games as Parma won the title; only Luis González had more hits in the Series.

During the 2025 Serie A1, he hit .368/.450/.568 with 27 runs in 24 regular-season games and was 1-0 with two saves and one unearned run in 4 2/3 IP. He tied Chris Proctor for 3rd in runs and 9th in hits (35) while tying Felipe Villasanti and Oscar Angulo for the most doubles (11). He was 6th with 10 errors and tied Piccoli for 4th with 18 double plays. He was 2-for-15 with 4 walks, 4 runs and 2 RBI and was 0-2 with a 10.80 ERA in the 2025 Italian Series as Parma lost their rematch with San Marino. He lost the title game to Marc Civit. He was the starting shortstop and leadoff man for Italy in the 2025 European Championship. He drew a walk from Switzerland's Andrea Girasole his first time up, stole second and scored on a Renzo Martini single. He came to bat three times that inning against three pitchers, also drawing a walk from Simon Steffen and being retired by Yannick Brot to end a massive 13-run frame. His first hit came off Brot. He then had a 3-hit game versus Lithuania. In the title game against the Netherlands, he was 2 for 5, with a RBI single off former big leaguer Shairon Martis in the 4th to tie it at 2, but Italy fell, 6-5. He hit .286/.412/.286 with 5 walks, 3 steals, 5 runs and 4 RBI in 7 games, fielding .955. He tied for 3rd in steals (one behind Marc Willi and Hayden Jung-Goldberg). He also won the Outstanding Defensive Player Award for the event as shortstops took both major honors (Didi Gregorius was the MVP).
