Out of Huntington Beach (Calif.), Goldenetz initially committed to TCU before landing at Long Beach State. Perfect Game ranked Goldenetz as the No. 96 prospect and No. 18 outfielder in California.
With the Dirtbags, Goldenetz earning the starting role in center field as a freshman and posting an impressive season at the plate by batting .369 with only 14 strikeouts in 108 at bats. Hitting from the left side, Goldenetz drew 19 walks and was hit by eight pitches, but had a slugging percentage lower than his on-base percentage because only three of his 40 hits went for extra bases — two doubles and a triple. A productive base stealer in high school, Goldenetz was caught stealing on five of his 15 attempts in 2026.
As an outfielder, Goldenetz only made one error, finishing the season with a .986 fielding percentage.
Goldenetz missed more than a month of the season due to a hand injury.
The bat-to-ball skills make Goldenetz an intriguing player, but the lack of power could limit him to a reserve role at Texas in 2027, so adding strength and some gap-to-gap ability are important aspects of his development this offseason after arriving on the Forty Acres.
