hit sb / sth (with sth)
Hit is transitive: the thing struck is the direct object, with no preposition. The tool used comes after with.

- The batsman hit the ball with great power.
- He was hit on the head by a falling branch.
hit + sb + on / in + part of body
When you name where the person was struck, use on or in with the body part, and the person stays as the object.
