For my daughter it was something that she developed with hours of practicing form and she had the catching net with strike zone to help set the area.
So much of it is muscle memory from repetition.
One thing I can say that might be the opposite of others is I saw a ton of girls throw hard but not throw strikes early on and the ones that slowed down to throw strikes then implemented it into their normal style then learned how to throw hard for strikes. I think those that focused on throwing hard found it extremely difficult to do so and develop control. That is why I emphasized control at an early age because if you throw hard but do not throw strikes it is useless. I see a lot of girls even at 16u throw hard but fall behind consistently and then slow down to throw strikes and get hit hard.
