As to what mechanics aid in control, OLD SCHOOL hit the nail on the head with "repeatable." This is why youngsters have a hard time with control. It's hard to get their growing bodies to develop mechanics they can repeat at an acceptable level. They are growing...daily, often. Once a pitcher is in tune with his mechanics enough that he can make minute changes in timing, grip, release, etc. that affect controlled changes in placement, velocity, and movement, he's where he strives to be. Complete achievement being practically impossible, the closer to this a pitcher can get, the better the "control."

This.
