The field magnets are glued onto the starter body...rapping the starter can loosen them on an old Saab/bosch starter. Not likely, but can happen.
You can check the little wire to the solenoid for power when you hook up the battery cable..no power indicates the solenoid is stuck. Power indicates the ignition switch is doing it.
You can also just disconnect the little wire to the solenoid and then hook up the battery...if it cranks it's a stuck solenoid. If not, it's the ignition switch.
Most likely the ignition switch.
