typically ~184days in a season for 162g. miss 13 days and you cannot accumulate a full year of service time. in ootp, you can change the schedule as well as days required for 1 year... assumes you left that to default.

awards stuff:
as long as they have less than ~80? days on active roster, they are a "rookie"? i believe this stuff is slightly different rule? or, i hope it is different. someone who has 95% of a season under their belt shouldn't be compared to a real first-year rookie.

these are both reference material you can find on google.
It's actually less than 45 days of service time/130 AB/50 IP. OOTP trips on the service time, but gets the AB/IP thresholds correct. I've seen guys who finish a season with 2 years 0 days of service time be considered rookies. In this case, I disregard them for awards. Sometimes the other "writers" that are voting keep them out of the top three, and other times not so much. I'd like to see the service time threshold implemented correctly, so the wrong guys don't take the award, but it's probably not at the top of the priority list right now.

EDIT: And bwburke94 beats me to the punch. Oh well.
