You can also think about your coaching. If you have better coaches, more reason to bring them up. Worse coaches, maybe wait until has more ready. Also, is it a good defensive team? This guy is going to have a lot of balls in play and base runners. A good defense will help mitigate that so he's not getting too beat up.
The personality also matters. We can't see it directly, but there's a rating for "handles failure". If he has a low handle failure rating, staying in INTL instead of getting hit a bit in Rookie might be better. But, we don't know. So, with other positive personality attrubutes I'd be more willing to make the move.
Edit:
One thing I do with almost all my rookie level pitchers is limit innings to 3-4 by putting a pitch limit of 45-60.
With this pitcher, because he's less ready for the level, I'd use him for fewer innings until you can see how he's performing. If he's getting hit, keep him at 3 innings and/or use him as a multi-inning reliever. If he's succeeding, extend him to 4 innings.
