Former Albemarle standout Tyler Molinaro's name popped up a few times on the results of a survey of the 10 baseball coaches in the CAA.

The website CollegeBaseballInsider.com polled college coaches from around the country for its 2013 season preview, and released the results from the CAA's coaches on Tuesday.

Molinaro, who will play his senior season at UNC-Wilmington this spring, appeared twice in the poll. He was voted "Best Outfield Arm" in the conference, and was one of three players voted "Biggest Power Threats."

Molinaro was an All-CAA third team selection in 2012, after hitting .273 with a conference-best 16 homeruns. Last month he was named to the 2013 preseason all-conference team, and the Seahawks were picked to repeat as CAA champs in the league's preseason coaches poll.
