The half-century that he scored made him the youngest player to score a fifty in Championship history at only 16-years and 299 days old.
The performance of the year award went to Ollie Robinson for his dominating efforts against Glamorgan at Sophia Gardens, when he took 13 wickets for 128 runs, including nine in one innings.

Incredible figures of 9-78 in an innings and 13-128 in the match against Glamorgan for Ollie Robinson. 👏 pic.twitter.com/Z5vBSVjyL5
Robinson's performance topped Ben Brown's 157 against Derbyshire and Tom Haines' 156 against Middlesex, which were both in the Championship at the 1st Central County Ground.
However, despite some good performances during the season from the players, Sussex still finished last in Division Three of the County Championship.
