Shortstop defensive positioning

Heading to son's last home game today....I'll see it again and get mad about it just like I've done all year....so I'm gonna rant a little lol.   Son's team plays their SS so close to 2nd base that it makes everyone watching it crazy.  Not on certain situations...almost all the time.  And deep....like on the grass deep.  He doesn't have a great arm....so anytime he has to go right...even just a few steps, the odds of him getting an out at 1B are slim.  We have given up dozens of hits between SS and 3B that would be routine ground outs to any team playing their SS in a normal position.  Son is a pitcher.  He absolutely hates it...and has asked why they do it that way.  No answer, which isn't a surprise lol.   I'll post later tonight and tell you how many hits we gave up thru the hole that should have been outs.  Over/Under is set at 3
