Let's assume the rookie received X hits.
According to the given information, his salary is made up of two components:
1. Base salary: $175,000
2. Additional pay per hit: $200 * X
Therefore, the total salary is given as the sum of these two components:
$175,000 + $200 * X = $199,000
Now let's solve this equation to find the value of X (the number of hits):
$200 * X = $199,000 - $175,000
$200 * X = $24,000
X = $24,000 / $200
X = 120
Hence, the rookie received 120 hits.
