It doesn't imply it to you or are you speaking for everyone? It does for me and I'd assume many others, otherwise you'd use "slap". Let's take a poll.

- ksaj 4y agoIn baseball, how is it when players hit the ball, it does not damage their knuckles? The words "fist" and "knuckle" do not even appear on M-W's definition of hit. "Fists" appears in a sample sentence that would be redundant if "hit" assumed "fists." https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hit https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hit
- MrOwnPut 4y agothe player doesn't hit the ball, the bat does. when a baseball player gets slapped on the butt after a good run, would you say their teammate hit or struck them? semantic debates are fun, how'd we get here? :)
