RafaAnswer SS in big ball and 3b for younger kids. In Big ball many plays require the SS to make off balance throws from deep in the hole towards 3rd to first and getting the extra zip on the ball turning a double play while a runner is taking your feet out from under you. Younger kids lack the range to get themselves in that type of situation where as a lot of travel teams up to the age of nine will still have some kids that cannot effectively throw runners out from third and the age is even higher for Rec. teams. I guess it depends on what age you're asking about. Pros=SS Kids=3B
