Does it go by a maximum number of innings or games pitched? What does it go by?

Nevermind.

It gives the qualifications for a rookie. Less than 130 at bats or less than 50 inning pitched in the majors. That's all I wanted to know.

Rookie status is only particularly meaningful for the Rookie Of The Year Award.
A player is last eligible for the ROY in the season in which his major league career total EXCEEDS:
a. 130 at-bats, or
b. 50.0 innings pitched, or
c. 45 days active service on the 25-man roster (Opening Day through August 31).
If Nuke LaLoosh Jr. throws 20 innings in 1989, five innings in 1994, 14 innings in 1999, and 10.2 innings in 2006, he still would be eligible for the 2007 ROY, as his career total is only 49.2 IP. Any votes he may have received in previous years do not disqualify him until one of the three conditions is met.

The only problem with that Chipmaker, is that Nuke would either be retired by now, or getting close to it, and what are the odds of a career minor leaguer winning the ROY?
Just curious lol, not trying to break your balls.
