Matt Goldenbaum is Creighton’s late-inning hammer
In the 2026 season, Goldenbaum emerged as a high-leverage RHP for Creighton, finishing with a 0.82 ERA over 11 innings with 11 strikeouts and 10 hits allowed, while also picking up multiple saves and wins in key spots[1][2][3]. What makes him interesting is the combo of calm, swing-and-miss relief work and trust from the staff in tight games; he looks like the kind of pitcher who shortens innings, handles pressure, and can anchor the back end without needing flashy velocity headlines[2][3][4].
