First base of further away from SS compared to 2B.

A SS has to have the ability to field “in the hole” between 3B and 2B. The right side of the diamond does has a “hole” but again, it’s much closer to first base.

Since a SS is right handed, it’s a harder throw to first when fielding a ground ball up the middle.
