Assuming the above link is accurate, it seems to be pretty detailed.  It's still 172 days, same as it was for Bryant, out of the 187-day season.  (https://www.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/service-time). 

But as reb correctly recalls,
*"No matter when a player comes up from the minors, he'll be awarded a full year of service if he finishes first or second in Rookie of the Year voting."

That's pretty limited.
