In 2019, Binelas' freshman season at Louisville, he played in 59 games (making 54 starts), hitting .291 with 14 home runs and 59 RBIs. He was named a Freshman All-American by multiple media outlets including Collegiate Baseball Newspaper and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. After the season, he was invited to play for the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team, joining teammates Reid Detmers, Bobby Miller, and Michael Kirian. As a sophomore in 2020, Binelas appeared in two games before suffering a hamate injury to his right hand, missing time due to the injury before the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, his junior season, he batted .256/.348/.621 with 19 home runs and 63 RBIs over fifty games.

Over 36 games between the two clubs, he slashed .309/.390/.583 with nine home runs, 29 RBIs, and 11 doubles.

On December 1, 2021, Binelas, David Hamilton, and Jackie Bradley Jr. were traded to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for Hunter Renfroe.
