Papa Jimmy Rollins' Got a Brand New Bag?

Jimmy's stats before the arrival of Baby Camryn:

G PA H 2B 3B HR ISO BABIP BB% K% BA OBP SLG OPS
42 185 38 6 0 1 .054 .272 8.6 16.2 .229 .295 .283 .578

Jimmy's stats after her arrival:

G PA H 2B 3B HR ISO BABIP BB% K% BA OBP SLG OPS
20 97 29 6 2 3 .200 .321 2.1 11.3 .305 .320 .505 .825

Now look, there obviously isn't any evidence of a direct causal relationship here. This is much more likely to be a coincidence.

But if it isn't, that would make for a much better story.
