Through is SO underutilised, don't you think? And why use Transpose then
Part, when Part does the job on its own?
lst = {{3.30414, -2.86064, -2.54648}, {4.06572, 3.80403,
1.68897}, {-1.72822, -2.03097, -4.1024}};
{ymin, ymax} = Through[{Min, Max}@lst[[All, 2]]]
Graphics3D[{Hue[0.8*(#[[2]] - ymin)/(ymax - ymin)],
Sphere[#, 1/(2 + #[[2]] - ymin)]} & /@ lst]
{-2.86064, 3.80403}
