Born in Poggibonsi and raised in Castelfiorentino, Baldanzi first started playing football at the local grassroots club, aged six; two years later, he joined the youth academy of Empoli, where he came through the youth ranks and won an under-16 national championship in 2019.

On 28 October 2020, the midfielder made his professional debut for Empoli, coming on as a substitute in a 4–2 Coppa Italia win against Benevento; during the victory, he assisted Leonardo Mancuso's closing goal. In the same season, he helped Empoli's under-19 team win the Campionato Primavera, being also nominated as the league's MVP in the process.

In the following season, after featuring in the UEFA Youth League, Baldanzi was officially promoted to the first team, together with teammates Jacopo Fazzini and Duccio Degli Innocenti. He then made his Serie A debut on 22 May 2022, replacing Patrick Cutrone in the 74th minute of a 1–0 away win against Atalanta.

On 28 August of the same year, Baldanzi started his first league match against Lecce, which ended in a 1–1 draw. Three days after, on 31 August, he scored his first professional goal in a 1–1 league draw against Hellas Verona. On 23 January 2023, Baldanzi scored the only goal of a 1–0 league victory against Inter Milan.

On 1 February 2024, Baldanzi signed with Roma.
