Pat McCarthy is scheduled to call St. John’s-Villanova men’s basketball Saturday for Westwood One radio (his debut on the network) and then fly to Cincinnati to help with stats on his father Tom’s broadcast of Browns-Bengals for CBS the following day.

It’s the kind of start to the New Year that has the younger McCarthy energized following an accident last fall that left him hospitalized for nine days.

McCarthy, who serves as the Mets pre-game and post-game host on WCBS radio — he also filled in last season on play-by-play for 55 games, mostly when Howie Rose didn’t travel — was hit by a car on Oct. 24 while jogging.

McCarthy, 28, was training for a half-marathon, and had entered a crosswalk near his home in Bordentown, N.J., when he was struck by the car on his left side. He lost consciousness.
