Nobody has reached 1000 major league hits prior to the age of 24. 7 players reached this milestone while aged 24... Ty Cobb, Buddy Lewis, Freddie Lindstrom, Mel Ott, Robin Yount, Al Kaline and Vada Pinson. Which of these passed the barrier first, I don't have time to go through their records and calculate their exact ages on the day they had their 1000th hit, but I would bet it was Ty Cobb, since he had over 1200 hits before he turned 25. Don't take that as a given though, check it now I've narrowed the search down to 7 for you.

It was Ty Cobb.
