That other ballgame on a diamond
The reason is more obvious in fast pitch softball.
Taking signs from the rubber makes the pitcher stop on the rubber rather than taking his sign from the back of the mound and then walking onto the rubber and carrying that momentum of his approach into the delivery of his pitch. In baseball it has got to be similar and also that it allows the batter to get prepared for the imminent delivery (prevents the quick pitch).
