By a good measure

I'm not sure if I heard this somewhere, but does it make any sense to say:

To be off base by a good measure.


"By a good measure" is the part that interests me. Is it idiomatic?


Thank you!

Yes, though I would not say it is tremendously common. (It means "by a fair/considerable amount", as you probably realise.)
