Videos from the stands showed the fan jumping onto the field during the ninth inning at Great American Ball Park.
He approached Guardians center fielder Tyler Freeman before receiving applause from the stands.
The fan then stopped, apparently unaware that a police officer was chasing him, and did a backflip at the scene.
Security wasn’t far behind, with one of them pulling a taser from his pocket.
The backflip saw the police officer’s hat fall to the ground before he hit the fan in the back.
More police officers arrived at the scene to remove the flattened fan from the stadium.
He was escorted off the field through one of the outfield bullpens.
“It was worth it,” one fan responded to the filming in X.
“What a point on that backflip,” laughed another.
“That cop wasn’t trying to get in anyone’s highlights haha,” added a third.
“By far the most hilarious thing I’ve ever witnessed in a game… the backflip on the taser knocked me down!” said a fourth.
William Hendon, 19, was arrested on charges of criminal trespass and obstruction of official business, for Fox 19.
He was booked into the Hamilton County Justice Center on Tuesday and held overnight without bond, according to the report.
Hendon will make his first court appearance in the case on Wednesday morning.
On the field, the Guardians’ victory helped Cleveland move to 43-22 on the MLB season.
By far the most hilarious thing I’ve ever witnessed in a game.
Cincinnati Reds fan
The Reds are currently third in the National League Central after falling to 32-35.
Cincinnati rookie outfielder Blake Dunn suffered a scary moment in the bottom of the ninth when he was hit in the head by a pitch.
“I’ve probably been hit on the head a lot in my life,” Dunn joked to reporters.
“As soon as I hit the ground, my vision – none of it disappeared. As if I were able to see where I still saw.
“So I knew I was fine and I got up, I felt fine, I didn’t feel dizzy or anything.”
