Early life and amateur career

Professional career
The Oakland Athletics selected Bolte 56th overall in the 2022 Major League Baseball draft. He signed with the team on July 25, 2022, and received a $2 million signing bonus. After signing, Bolte was assigned to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League Athletics to begin his professional career, with whom he hit .212 over 11 games. In 2023, he played with the Stockton Ports and batted .257 with 14 home runs, 68 RBI, and 32 stolen bases over 112 games.

To open the 2024 season, Bolte was assigned to the Lansing Lugnuts. In July, he was promoted to the Midland Rockhounds. Over 123 games between both teams, Bolte hit .267 with 15 home runs, 73 RBI, and 46 stolen bases. He returned to Midland to open the 2025 season and was promoted to the Las Vegas Aviators of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League (PCL) in July.

Bolte began the 2026 season with Las Vegas and tied a PCL record with hits in 12 consecutive at-bats from May 7-9. This included a two-game stretch where he hit 10-10 with 9 extra base hits. He was named the PCL's player of the week for May 4-10. On May 12, 2026, Bolte was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time. He made his major league debut the following day against the St. Louis Cardinals, collecting singles in his first two at-bats.
